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.

Excellent product at a sensible price from a local supplier. Staff are friendly and willing to help: I asked if just one bag of topsoil could be delivered quickly and it arrived next day! Great service.

Smooth execution of the transaction and delivery. Very helpful phone call and conversation. Ordered three bags of Border Blend topsoil. Paid by Paypal. They delivered,  on the specified date,   carefully,  exactly where I wanted the bags placed. All in all,  a very pleasing purchase. The topsoil was excellent and had been very carefully prepared. No lumps. Would definitely recommend and I will use again.  Everyone I spoke to was nice and helpful.

Ordered topsoil on Tuesday came by Friday at the exact time quoted. Was WAY cheaper than anywhere else (by about £15 per bag) and was dropped off via a crane on back of the lorry, not by pallet which most of the other places use. Soil was fine and dry. Brilliant !
