Water conservation

 

Lock in up to 70% more moisture

Water use increases by up to 50% in dry summer weather, mainly due to garden watering. This makes tougher water restrictions more likely just when plants need water most. Make the most of available water by spreading mulch on your garden now.

Mulching your garden is one of the best things you can do to conserve water and keep your garden looking great. By spreading mulch you can reduce moisture loss from the soil by up to 70% which means more water in the soil for your plants. Mulch has the additional benefits of keeping soils loose and workable, suppressing weed growth, reducing the time spent watering the garden; and as it rots down it feeds the soil.
