Product information

Westland Bed & Border Chipped Bark is perfect for creating low maintenance beds & borders or for use in large planters/containers. It reduces the need for frequent weeding and the amount of time spent on weeding. Westland Bed & Border Chipped Bark is also suitable for use in children’s play areas, providing a clean, soft surface with good impact absorbing properties.

• Existing beds & borders - Prepare the border by removing all weeds and debris. Spread a layer of bark 2.5-5 cm deep over the area ensuring that the mulch reaches under the plant canopy and covers the root area. Remove any annual weeds as they appear. To maintain a good mulch layer, replenish the area with fresh bark annually. Top Tip – For best results, laying a perforated plastic or fabric membrane under the bark mulch is advisable to further reduce weed problems where perennial weeds occur. Cut an X shaped hole in the membrane and plant shrubs and flowers into planting hole underneath the membrane.
