Using gravel and bark in your garden has all manner of benefits, both pratical and aesthetic.
In this article we\’re going to explore some of the benefits of using bark in your garden, and then we\’re going to take a deep dive into the various kinds of gravel we supply and their characteristics and potential uses.
Composted and Ornamental Bark
Garden bark is really great when it comes to moisture retention. Its gradual decomposition facilitates the release of beneficial nutrients into the soil to improve its health.
Another key benefit of bark is weed suffocation, which also helps with retaining moisture. Aside from these practical advantages, bark can also lend a decorative flair to your outdoor space.
The combination of organic weed control and natural beauty makes it easy to see why composted and ornamental bark popular.
