There are heaps of different types of mulch, and they’re all good for the garden. Subscribe 🔔 http://ab.co/GA-subscribe Different mulches suit different applications. Light mulches like pea straw, sugarcane or lucerne: Great for the veggie patch, will put nutrients into the soil as they break down, and retain moisture. Avoid using around low-hanging fruit like strawberries as it can harbour slugs. Eucalyptus or tea tree mulch: A favourite for natives, as it is similar to what would happen in nature. Leaf mulch: great to bring back habitat for lizards and insects. Good all-rounder. Tree clippings: Heavier mulch, hold water and suppress mulch. Good for bigger trees. Chunky pine mulch: Aesthetically pleasing, takes ages to break down. Perfect for paths and as weed suppression. Not so good for garden beds. Hardwood mulch: Heavy mulch that takes years to break down. Keeps a lot of water in the soil. Great for paths. ___________________________________________ Gardening Australia is an ABC TV program providing gardening know-how and inspiration.
