How do I use mulch?

Mulch is great for:

• Mature tree and shrub beds
  Spread to depth of 10 – 20 cm, tapering to nothing as you get close to the trunk of the tree or base of the shrub.
• Established flower gardens
  Spread to a depth of 10 – 15 cm.
• Pathways
  Spread to a depth of 10 – 15 cm.

This mulch should not be used with plant seedlings. Mulch created from evergreen branches is acidic, and this can damage plant seedlings.
