Brunnings Sugar Cane Mulch 14kg Bale, 100% Organic Garden Mulch

Brunnings Sugar Cane Mulch 14kg: 100% Organic Garden Mulch Bale

Brunnings Sugar Cane Mulch is a natural, 100% organic mulch made from sugar cane, packed in a large compressed bale that's easy to carry and covers a lot of ground. It's been dried, cut, screened and dust extracted, so it's a clean, consistent product that's easy to spread. Sugar cane mulch is a garden favourite because it breaks down to feed the soil while doing all the usual jobs of a good mulch, and this bale covers up to 18 square metres.

Spread over garden beds, it helps the soil hold moisture so you water less often, and it insulates the soil against temperature swings. As a light-coloured mulch it suppresses weeds by blocking the light they need to grow, and because it's an organic mulch it breaks down over time to add nutrients and organic matter, encouraging earthworms and beneficial soil microbes.

It suits vegetable gardens, flower beds, around fruit trees and general garden beds, and it's certified as an input suitable for organic gardens.

How to Use

• Clear existing weeds from the bed before mulching

• Keep the mulch slightly clear of plant stems and tree trunks to avoid collar rot

• Water the bed after spreading to settle the mulch

• Top up as it breaks down over the season to maintain the layer

Getting the Best From It

• Apply a good, even layer: too thin and weeds push through, too thick against stems can cause rot

• Refresh the layer through the growing season as the mulch decomposes into the soil

• Combine with a liquid feed if you want to add nutrients while the mulch improves the soil over time
