Winter Mulch FAQs
What is Winter Mulch made from?
Alsoils+ Winter Mulch is made from FSC-certified, composted bark. It’s coarse in texture, which makes it ideal for long-lasting coverage and effective weed suppression.
What are the benefits of applying mulch in winter?
Winter mulch helps insulate soil against frost, reduces surface compaction from heavy rain, suppresses early weed growth, and retains vital moisture. It also improves soil structure as it breaks down over time.
Where can I use Winter Mulch?
It’s perfect for flower beds, borders, vegetable patches, tree bases, and pathways. It’s especially useful for protecting newly planted areas or covering bare soil during dormant periods.
How thick should I apply it?
We recommend a depth of 5–7.5cm (2–3 inches) for optimal coverage and insulation. Apply after clearing leaves or debris to ensure the mulch sits directly on the soil surface.
How much does one bulk bag cover?
One 0.75m³ bulk bag of Winter Mulch typically covers 10–12m² at a depth of around 5–7.5cm. For lighter coverage or decorative use, it may stretch further.
