Composting methods

I need to treat the soil in one part of my garden, is there any good mulch available at garden centres?



Yes, most have a choice of suitable materials for use as a mulch. You can use any of the general-purpose composts that come in 50 or 75 litre bags, or you could use bark chippings.

Of course, some 'mulches' aren't organic, they're mineral -- like using gravel or other sorts of chippings just to reduce moisture loss. So you have to be clear if you're just mulching to add nutrients or for another reason.

 

Hi Sandy and thank you :D

I want to add nutrients, i used to use chicken doo doo pellets but they don't half attract the flies :eek:
