The most commonly used mulches are bark, woodchips, shavings, straw, leaves and pebbles. You should lay mulch 75mm deep, keep it away from plant stems and make sure you remove weeds before laying mulch. Black plastic is not recommended for stopping weed growth as it prevents soil aeration. The Gardens are open each weekend from beginning of September to the end of April. A must on the gardening calendar.
Admission is free.
