Benefits of Compost and Garden Mix

Gardens love Mushroom Compost as a mulch and soil conditioner. It's great for most flowering plants, trees and shrubs, vegetable gardens. Organic mushroom compost has a good balance of organic compounds, making your soil fertile. Plus, it has a good mix of macro and micronutrients for overall plant growth. The relatively neutral pH makes most nutrients available to plants.

• Composting enriches soil, helping retain moisture and suppress plant diseases and pests

• Reduces the need for chemical fertilizers

• Encourages the production of beneficial bacteria and fungi that break down organic matter to create humus, a rich nutrient-filled material

Garden Mix improves water holding capacity and provides the aeration necessary for healthy root growth. As a mulch, Paranui Garden Mix not only feeds plants, it helps to maintain moisture, provide warmth, encourage earthworms and prevent weeds.

Benefits of Mulch

Mulch is a layer of organic or inorganic matter that’s placed on garden. Mulch limits evaporation and helps the soil retain moisture for a long period of time. It protects the soil from extreme heat and cold, which can help protect the delicate roots of plants, grass, and trees. Mulch will also limit weed growth so your plants, and trees don’t have to compete with undesirable weeds and can thrive. The best time to apply mulch is when the soil is thoroughly moist. Most often this is in late winter or early spring, but bark can be applied at any time of year so long as the soil is moist

Benefits of Bark

Reduce water use and regulates soil temperature - Bark acts as a layer of insulation, protecting the soil and any plant roots from weather fluctuations throughout the year.
