Loved by Thousands of Aussie Homeowners

Black Mulch 60L - Garden Care & Turf - Garden View Nursery

• Sourced from sustainably managed Australian forests, providing an eco-friendly landscaping solution for conscious gardeners.
• Creates natural soil improvement as it slowly decomposes, adding organic matter and nutrients to garden beds.
• Offers year-round benefits including summer cooling, winter insulation, and consistent moisture conservation.
• Loved by gardeners for its professional appearance and ability to make any garden look instantly well-maintained.

• Apply 75-100mm thick layer around plants, keeping 100mm clear of plant stems to prevent moisture buildup.
• Water underlying soil thoroughly before application, then water through mulch as needed for plants below.
• Use over well-draining soil or improve drainage in clay areas before mulching to prevent waterlogging.
• No feeding required for mulch itself, but may need to supplement plants with nitrogen if yellowing occurs.
• Rake lightly every 3-4 months to prevent matting and maintain air circulation through the material.
• Refresh with new layer annually in spring or autumn as organic matter naturally decomposes into soil.

• Apply in full sun to full shade locations, as mulch adapts to all light conditions while protecting plant roots underneath.
• Water deeply but infrequently, allowing mulch to dry slightly between watering to prevent fungal issues.
• Maintain 75-100mm depth for optimal weed suppression and moisture retention without suffocating plant roots.
• Refresh annually or bi-annually as organic matter decomposes, adding new layer on top of existing mulch.

• Fungal growth may occur in overly wet conditions with poor drainage. Ensure adequate air circulation and avoid overwatering areas where mulch is applied.
• Termite attraction can happen with wood-based mulches in some regions. Keep mulch 150mm away from building foundations and inspect regularly.
• Nitrogen depletion may occur as mulch decomposes. Apply nitrogen-rich fertiliser to surrounding plants if yellowing occurs.
• Matting and compaction can prevent water penetration. Rake mulch lightly every few months to maintain loose texture.

faq

How often should I water Black Mulch 60L?

Black Mulch 60L should be watered when underlying soil becomes dry, typically every 7-14 days. Check moisture levels by lifting mulch and testing soil beneath. During summer, you may need more frequent watering, while winter requires less as mulch retains moisture effectively.

Yes, Black Mulch 60L is completely safe for pets including cats and dogs. This organic mulch contains no toxic chemicals or harmful additives that could affect animals. Pets can safely walk on and around mulched areas without risk. Shop Pet Safe Plants from Garden View Nursery.

How fast does Black Mulch 60L grow?

Black Mulch 60L doesn't grow but decomposes slowly over 12-18 months, gradually breaking down into soil. Decomposition rate depends on climate conditions, with faster breakdown in warm, humid weather and slower breakdown in cool, dry conditions.

Does Black Mulch 60L prefer full sun or shade?

Black Mulch 60L performs well in both full sun and full shade locations across Australian conditions. It provides excellent heat protection for plants in sunny spots while preventing moisture loss, and works equally well in shaded garden beds under trees.

How big does Black Mulch 60L get?

Black Mulch 60L covers approximately 6 square metres at recommended 75-100mm depth when spread evenly. One 60L bag provides sufficient coverage for medium-sized garden beds, with coverage varying slightly depending on application thickness and settling.

Why is my Black Mulch 60L dying?

Black Mulch 60L typically fails due to excessive moisture and poor drainage causing fungal problems. Other issues include applying too thickly, keeping too close to plant stems, or inadequate soil preparation. Talk to Our Plant Experts at Garden View Nursery for personalised help.

Can I grow Black Mulch 60L in a pot?

Yes, Black Mulch 60L works excellently in large pots and containers for decorative finishing. Use 25-50mm depth in pots, ensure proper drainage holes, and choose containers at least 300mm wide for best results. Shop Pots & Planters at Garden View Nursery.

How much does Black Mulch 60L cost in Australia?
