A natural looking mulch that is ideal for your home garden or large commercial landscaping projects.
Enviro mulch regularly applied will reduce water evaporation from soil, regulate soil temperature and reduce erosion.
From pine needles to straw, we’ve all used mulch at some point in our lives. It’s great for our garden beds, vegie gardens and landscaping needs – and it’s especially helpful when it’s high quality. For all your mulch needs, don’t hesitate to contact Carramar Resource Industries today.
What is Enviro Mulch
Mulch can be defined as any material that is spread over soil as a covering. Whilst there are a variety of types available, they can be separated into two classes: organic mulches and synthetic mulches.
Organic mulches
Organic mulches are sourced from organic materials, such as pine needles, bark and straw. Over time, they will decompose, during which they will provide your soil with nutrients. Each type of organic mulch has its own benefits. Grass, for example, is ideal for areas where you wish to suppress weeds, whereas bark is ideal for trees, shrubs and garden beds.
When choosing an organic mulch, it is important to consider what your needs are and select a mulch that is best suited to them.
Synthetic mulches
Also available are synthetic mulches. Whilst they don’t add nutrients to the soil, they don’t require replacing as often as their organic counterpart. Examples of synthetic mulches include black plastic, stone, and landscape fabric.
The Main Uses of Mulch
Mulch is used for a variety of landscaping projects, from garden beds to walkways to vegie patches.
We should all be using mulch – here are a few top reasons why.
Water conservation
Mulch is ideal for retaining moisture in the soil, which stops the soil from drying out. This can significantly reduce the need for watering, potentially even halving it.

Weed prevention
Weeds compete with plants for nutrients and water. Mulching resolves that issue by preventing weed seed germination – which means you won’t be getting anywhere near as many weeds, if any.
If weed prevention is important to you, check the sources of your mulch to ensure it won’t sprout.
Soil temperature
Plants can be sensitive. When the soil is too hot, they can burn, or experience root damage. Mulch helps regulate your soil temperature by providing a barrier between the soil and the elements, leading to healthier plants.
Nutrient boost
As they decompose, organic mulches add extra nutrients to the soil, giving it a welcome nutrient boost.
