Sylvabark Pine Bark Flakes are made from professional-grade highly screened pine bark (pH4.5 - 5.5). Ideal for mulching individual pots, containers and decorative borders.
Applied directly onto the soil around your plants, it helps to suppress weeds, keep moisture in the soil and insulate against ground frost, as well as giving planted areas a neat, ‘finished’ look.
If left undisturbed, the mulch should last for at least two years before needing a top up. Eventually, it will naturally break down to improve the soil’s structure and nutrient content.
About Melcourt:
Melcourt is the UK’s leading supplier of peat-free growing media, mulches, soil improvers and landscaping products - many of which are RHS endorsed and Soil Association approved. Launched in 1983, they were the first company to explore the possibilities of more sustainable growing media. All their composts and mulches are based on British and European forestry and wood processing residues, with any new raw materials tested in-house to ensure the highest quality.
How to use:
Ensure the pot, container or border

nettles. Moisten soil or compost and carefully spread SylvaBark around your plants using your hand, a garden fork or rake.
