• 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.
