Mulching

Mulching

South East Queensland's ongoing drought and Brisbane's harsh water restrictions mean that many people are struggling to keep their trees alive.

One of the easiest ways to modify the effect of the big dry is to place a protective cover placed over the soil around your trees.

Choosing the right mulch is important. There are a wide variety of both natural and synthetic materials which are options for use in different circumstances. Each type has different methods of dealing with temperature regulation, longevity, decomposition and nutrient delivery, controlling weeds as well as preventing water evaporation and erosion.

Mulching is also an ongoing managment task. Organic mulch is abundant in microorganisms and can be hazardous to your and your family's health if not handled properly. The wrong choice, quantity and application of mulch could also unintentionally harm your tree.
