With droughts frequent across the Australian landscape soil water management can be critical.
Overall people are now much more aware of the value of mulching to optimise the water reaching the garden bed, the retention of moisture in the soil and controlling run-off.
Mulching can prevent evaporation from the soil by up to 70 per cent. The break down of organic mulch also releases nutrients into the soil to maximise fertility whilst increasing good micro and macro organisms within your soil improving your soils health and structure which delivers the best sustainable growth for your trees, shrubs and plants.
