Melcourt Pine Mini Bark Chips™: The Premium Choice for Landscapers
Enhance your garden with Pine Mini Chips, a high-performance mulch designed for smaller-scale applications. This premium product is made from sustainably sourced UK pine bark and offers a range of benefits for your plants and soil. Melcourt Pine Mini Chips are small pine bark chips used for mulching beds & borders. Decorative mini bark chips provide a neat covering for garden landscaping on smaller beds and borders or tubs, pots, window boxes and roof gardens.
Using Pine Bark Mini Mulch
The small bark chip size of Melcourt pine bark mini mulch makes it perfect for mulching pot plants and containers. Initially bark mini mulch forms a barrier on the soil which gradually decays and makes an organic compost. Also suitable for use in garden beds. The quality bark helps to conserve moisture in soils and can deter pests. Melcourt pine mini chips are produced from mature British pine mixes.
How to Use:
• Ensure the area to be mulched is entirely free from both annual and perennial weeds
• Lay Melcourt Mini Chips evenly onto freshly cultivated moist soil, after planting has been completed.
• The mulch should be laid at between 50 to 100mm depths, allowing at least 5% for settlement
• For greatest longevity, do not disturb once applied
• When used in tubs, pots and window boxes, spread to a minimum depth of 50mm, onto moist soil or compost. As the mulch will remain loose, ensure that there is a sufficient depth of rim to contain the bark.
