How to Use Bloom & Gro Bark Chips

Materials Needed

• Bloom & Gro Bark Chips (56 Ltr)
• Garden gloves
• Rake or garden fork
• Wheelbarrow (optional)

Preparation

1. Clear the area where you will apply the bark chips. Remove any weeds, rocks, or debris.
2. Loosen the soil with a rake or garden fork to improve drainage and aeration.
3. Water the soil lightly to help the bark chips settle better.

Application

1. Open the bag of Bloom & Gro Bark Chips carefully.
2. If using a wheelbarrow, pour the bark chips into it for easier transport to the application area.
3. Spread the bark chips evenly over the prepared area to a depth of about 5-7 cm (2-3 inches).
4. Use a rake to spread the chips uniformly and level the surface.
5. Ensure that the bark is not piled against plant stems or tree trunks to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to rot.

Maintenance

• Check the bark chip layer periodically and replenish as needed to maintain the desired depth.
• Remove any weeds that may appear on the surface.
• Consider refreshing the bark chips annually to maintain a neat and tidy appearance.

Tips

• Use bark chips in flower beds, around trees, and along garden paths to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture.
• For best results, apply the bark chips in spring or autumn.
