Spent Mushroom Compost
This cheap by-product of the mushroom industry is recycled by us into a high fertility mulch for flower beds and borders.   It is very useful on heavy clay soils due to its lime content, which is added to aid the growing of mushrooms.   DO NOT use on ericaceous planted areas, such as heathers, azaleas, and rhododendrons, as they hate lime.   Available in bags, or locally in loose loads.

 

Cocoa Shell Mulch
Cocoa Shell Mulch is the market leader in the decorative weed suppressing mulch market.   It is regularly recommended by garden presenters on radio and television and also by feature writers for gardening books and magazines.

Cocoa Shell Mulch is spread on flower beds and borders to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Cocoa Shell Mulch

  • Attractive copper colour which contrasts beautifully with the greenery of growing plants.
  • Excellent weed suppressant
  • Moisture retentive
  • Very economical when purchased from Tommy Topsoil.
Once spread on the soil and watered, Cocoa Shell Mulch gels into a sticky mat below the surface and becomes excellent if left undisturbed.   The surface mulch remains a very attractive coppery colour and looks great even in a new border with sparse planting.   Cocoa Shell can cost up to 50% more when purchased through some DIY and garden centres.

Only available in 75 litre bags.
