Why Mulch is Essential for Every Garden

Mulch provides more than just a finishing touch

It’s one of the most effective ways to protect and nourish your plants. By adding a layer of mulch to your garden beds, you:

- Lock in soil moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering.

- Suppress weeds naturally, saving you hours of maintenance.

- Regulate soil temperature, keeping roots cool in summer and warm in winter.

- Improve soil health over time as organic mulches break down.

Whether you’re starting a new garden, refreshing your landscaping, or protecting veggie beds, the right mulch makes all the difference.Efficient firewood use means more heat, less waste, and lower costs. Properly seasoned, well-stored firewood burns hotter, cleaner, and longer—a win for your comfort and your environment.

Choosing the right mulch for your garden

For Landscaping & Pathways: Pine bark or decorative coloured mulches add long-lasting appeal.

For Playgrounds & Schools: Choose certified Softfall Mulch for safety and compliance.

For Water-Wise Gardens: Dark-coloured mulch absorbs heat and reduces evaporation, helping your plants thrive in hot weather.
