EXISTING BEDS & BORDERS - Prepare the border by removing all weeds and debris. Spread a layer of bark 2.5-5 cm deep over the area ensuring that the mulch reaches under the plant canopy and covers the root area. Remove any annual weeds as they appear. To maintain a good mulch layer replenish the area with fresh bark annually.

NEW BEDS & BORDERS - Prepare the area by removing all weeds and debris. Spread a layer of bark 2.5-5 cm deep over the area. Remove any annual weeds as they appear. To maintain a good mulch layer replenish the area with fresh bark annually.

PLAY AREAS - Prepare the area by removing all weeds and debris. Add an anti-weed membrane and secure. Spread a layer of bark 8-12 inches deep over the area. Check the play area daily and ensure that there is an even coverage of bark over the area with a minimum depth of 8 inches, top up with new bark if necessary. Remove any debris and foreign matter that may have appeared in the bark. Bed & Border Chipped Bark will only provide protection as an impact absorbing surface. Bed & Border Bark Chips can be abrasive and particularly in dry conditions, can cause scratches and splinters. It is recommended that if the bark becomes very dry that it is watered to reduce the risk of scratches.

LARGE PLANTERS / CONTAINERS - When planting large containers & planters, leave a 5-7 cm space at top of the container or planter. Spread a 3-5 cm layer of bark over the top of the compost or soil. This will provide important thermal insulation, prevent water loss and make the containers easier to water.
