Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Sep 13, 2013 7:51 am O.K. so the plants have been in for about 6 weeks now and look good, but I've yet to lay down some mulch and with the warmer weather I can see the weeds are about to start. ANL is handy for me as I'm in Sydney. The plants are Jap Bux, Viburnum, and Camelias. Some in planter boxes others around the retaining walls, paths etc. The Re-Mulch which is an organic matter, and the Forest Blend have both caught my eye as being contrbutors to added back to the soil and breaking down. Can anyone suggest a preference or alternative as I'd like to do this over the weekend. I'm also planning on putting down a small layer of the naked farmer soil activate first. My soil is allready good, but it can't hurt, can it. Thanks Nikos. Re: Which ANL Mulch 2Sep 16, 2013 10:50 am Well, bit the bullet and went with the Forest Blend from ANL. Mixture of sizes so should mat well without restricting water. Was going to go with the Leaf Litter mulch but looked a little "too" fresh and I was worried about bringing in fresh weed seedlings. Also grabbed 8 x 25L bags of the naked farmer soil activator, and spread out a layer10-20mm thick ontop of my existing garden beds first before applying the mulch. I was surprised with how fine the product was, almost powdery, and noticed when I watered it in before applying the mulch, water seemed to pool on top a little. The base soil I have is a Cert Organic Compost mixed through with a premium planter bed mix and a little aged manure. Also threw in some Kahoona slow release fertiliser for the Camelia's. Let's see what happens. Nikos. Black on light wood does look good. Not sure if it will be as long lasting as a steel finish? 6 6354 brokers will also be in a position to get you a better rate than the advertised rate most times. 6 7586 Thank you. Do I use timber floorboards for stairs or do people use timber treads? Or is both the same? 6 7306 |
