Bark, one of the "secret weapons" of water conservation in the garden

11/06/2009

The appropriate use of bark mulch in the garden can help plants through the dryer summer months by preventing the majority of water loss by evaporation from the soil. It also adds organic matter to the soil and helps prevent erosion.

A covering of bark reduces light so preventing germination of many weed seeds and fewer weeds provide less competition for available moisture and nutrients. Using bark to control weeds is also safer than applying herbicides.

There are many different grades of bark. Some are specialist and others are suited for a variety of applications. It is important to choose the right bark for your project. Rolawn Landscaping Bark is a mid-dark brown, multi-purpose grade bark derived from forestry woodchip. It is a natural product and will enhance the appearance of landscaping projects. Rolawn Play Grade Bark is a quality, reddish brown, pine bark, which is ideal for use in children’s play areas. It is tested to BSEN1177:1998 regarding impact absorption. Rolawn Decorative Bark is a quality, durable, golden brown deluxe ornamental pine bark. Its attractive appearance and shape make it ideal for beds and borders.
