  • Field No.38 will improve soil structure overtime making it easier to dig.
  • Field No.38 reduces the need for watering in drier months.

How much do I need?

Measure the approximate surface area of the bed or border you wish to mulch.

Decide how deep you wish to install the mulch. For best results 50mm – 75mm is recommended.

1m³ of this product will be sufficient to cover the following surface area:

Depth of mulch:  50mm 75mm 100mm
Area covered: 20m² 13.33m² 10m²

Alternatively give us a call with the dimensions of the area you wish to mulch and we will do the calculations for you.

Directions for use

  1. Clear weeds from area ahead of planting. Spraying off with herbicide such as glyphosate two to three weeks prior to planting is particularly effective.
  2. Prepare and cultivate the root zone. The addition of Field No. 1 Organic Soil Improver or Field No.16 Tree and Shrub planting compost is recommended at this stage.
  3. To further reduce maintenance requirements and to increase mulch life a geo-textile mat can be laid ahead of planting. Select our great value purchase option that includes a 1000L bulk bag with a 10 square metre roll of Mulchtex Weedmat and Pegs.
  4. Install plants.
  5. Spread Field No.38 evenly at a depth of between 50 and 75mm (2 to 3 inches) allowing at least 10% for settlement.
  6. For best results reduce disturbance of mulch once installed.
  7. For best results top up levels every 6-12 months.
