Product Description
Fine bark helps condition the soil, even inviting earthworms to aerate the soil, and helps reduce soil compaction naturally. It will also raise soil temperatures by several degrees. This can often be the difference between success and failure.
Beyond its structural benefits, fine bark serves as a highly effective thermal blanket for your garden beds. By trapping and radiating ambient heat, it can raise the underlying soil temperature by several degrees. This consistent warmth is especially crucial during unpredictable shoulder seasons and early spring plantings. It provides a stable microclimate that encourages rapid root development and protects sensitive plants from sudden temperature drops. Ultimately, this simple addition transforms marginal growing conditions into a thriving environment, providing the critical edge that represents the direct difference between gardening success and failure.
Sold in bulk by the cube or half cube, for pick up from our Bell Block, New Plymouth yard or delivery.
