As you may already know, bark is a really useful weapon in any gardener’s armoury. It can provide excellent ground cover to prevent roots from being damaged by severe frosts and cold weather for example. Here are some other useful things to know about bark:
Bark Is Great for Ornamental Effect
Bark is often used in gardens because it opens up the possibility of creating a highly decorative solution for borders and flower beds. Bark chippings for gardens can come in a variety of types, colours and textures, enabling quick and easy ornamental effect whilst providing other benefits to the gardener at the same time.
Bark Is Good for Weeds
When we say bark is good for weeds, what we really mean is it’s good for preventing weeds – which is good for gardeners of course. Bark can help inhibit weed growth making the gardening day less arduous for the dedicated gardener by removing the need for persistent weed watching. ‘Hooray for bark’ we here you say!
Bark Is Suitable for Children’s Play Areas
Special kinds of bark can also be used as playground bark, but also for play areas at home in the garden. It is clean, absorbs the impact of falls from children playing on climbing frames for example and provides a clean and well draining surface that can help eliminate standing water in playgrounds after a heavy rain fall.
