Quick answer
Forest Mulch is a fine blend of organic forest materials with nutrients for plants already in the mix. It holds moisture, keeps weeds down and breaks down slowly to feed the soil. The fine texture and good value suit large garden projects on a tight budget, and the colours sit naturally in flower beds, vegetable patches and shrub gardens. Lay it about 50–75mm deep.

About the product
How this mulch performs
Forest mulch is a balanced mix of organic forest materials, which makes it a versatile, eco-friendly choice for almost any garden job. Because it is fine in texture and already contains nutrients for your plants, it is a smart option for large projects where the budget is tight.
As the organic matter slowly breaks down, it returns nutrients to the soil, building it up and helping plants grow stronger and greener. Forest mulch also forms a solid barrier against weeds, so there is less weeding to do, and with fewer weeds competing, your plants get more of the water and nutrients they need.
Its natural colours sit comfortably in flower beds, veggie patches and shrub gardens.
Forest Mulch: your questions answered
Is forest mulch good for large gardens?
Yes. The fine texture and good value make it a smart choice for big projects on a budget.
Forest Mulch or Forest Mulch Double Grind?
They start from the same organic forest materials. Double Grind goes through the grinder twice, so it is finer, settles faster and breaks down sooner to feed the soil.
How many cubic metres of forest mulch should I order?
Lay it 50–75mm deep, where each cubic metre covers roughly 13–20 m². Multiply length × width × depth in metres to get your volume, or let our volume calculator do it.
