Living Earth More than Mulch aids the natural conservation of soil moisture and weed suppression when layered over existing soils and around plants. Its benefits are:
• An attractive layer of dark coloured mulch that sets off all plants to best effect
• Suppresses weeds
• Protects soil and minimises maintenance
• Saves water by conserving moisture already in the soil
• Increases water absorption by enabling water to enter into the soil more easily
• Prevents soil erosion and root compaction
• Promotes microbial activity in the soil
Living Earth More than Mulch is not only a superior product for moisture conservation, but because it contains added compost, it also revitalises the soil by providing humus and nutrients and by encouraging earthworms. These are all essential to building a more healthy and fertile soil. Compared to other mulches available, our rich dark More than Mulch is also more aesthetically pleasing than pine bark chip or nugget, or conventional inorganic options. Its dark texture sets off new or established plants extremely attractively, particularly when it lies next to shell paths or sandstone pavers.
