Product Description

Westland Decorative Mini Bark gives a highly decorative, low-maintenance finish for small borders and container. These small brown chips not only create a clean background for displaying your plants but also reduce the need for frequent weeding.

Produced from sustainable conifer plantations grown for the timber industry, they are therefore certified in accordance with the rules of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

  • 8-20mm mini chips.
  • Specially screened for a highly decorative finish.
  • Ideal for use in containers & small decorative borders.
  • Helps retain moisture in the soil.
  • Suppresses weed growth.

Why & How To Use This?

Westland Decorative Mini Bark provides an ideal decorative mulch for small borders and for containers and plant pots. It reduces weeding time, conserves water and provides thermal insulation for plant roots

Beds & borders

Prepare the area by removing all weeds and debris. Spread a layer of bark 2.5cm to 5cm deep evenly over the bed or border.

For best results lay a perforated plastic or fabric membrane under the bark. Cut an x-shaped hole in the membrane and place shrubs and plants into the planting hole under the membrane. Spread the bark chips back under the plant canopy to hide the membrane.

Remove any annual weeds as they appear. Maintain a good mulch layer and replenish with fresh bark annually.

Pots/containers

Leave a 5-7cm space at the top of each container. Spread a 3-5cm layer of Westland Decorative Mini Bark over the top of the compost or soil. This will provide thermal insulation making the pots less likely to dry out.

Remove annual weeds as they appear. Check the compost underneath is fresh at least once a year and top up the bark.

Handy Gardening Tips

  • Store in a dry, frost-free place away from weedkiller or other garden chemicals.
  • Reseal bag after use.
  • Wear gloves when handling. Wash hands after use.

Bulky goods:

Bulky goods will be delivered on pallets and will be unloaded by the courier. All bulky goods are delivered kerbside. Unfortunately, the delivery company will not convey the goods into premises for storage unless agreed in advance. Access to the delivery location must be suitable for a truck and failure to provide suitable level ground for operating pallet truck may result in refusal to deliver by the courier. Please note delivery operators will apply safe procedures in relation to ongoing Public Health considerations..

Exceptional Goods:

Some building materials are extremely bulky and not practical to deliver outside Co. Sligo e.g. concrete blocks, tonne bags of sand or gravel or some lengths of timber. We have highlighted where this is the case in bold red writing. If you do order these products we will contact you to see if you want to pay an additional delivery charge or if you wish to cancel the order. Please do not take offence to this as some bulky goods may cost much more to deliver than the value of the goods. We are based in Sligo so can offer a local delivery service in this area using our own vehicles.

If there is a forklift or teleporter available onsite, we would appreciate if you could tell us in advance by filling out the special delivery notes when completing the order.

The Seller or the courier company will not be held responsible for any damage to goods or persons caused by the goods being unloaded by the buyer.

**Please contact us in advance of ordering if unsure of the above**
