SUGAR CANE

Straw can be the source of grass and weed seeds or grain seeds. However sugar cane is harvested from the top of the plant thereby eliminating any grass or weed seed problems. It is excellent for maintaining moisture within the soil, very easy to spread and is usually the cheapest mulch. It is ideal for the vegetable garden and can be used to protect vegetables from soil borne diseases.

Why mulch?

Mulching has many advantages:

Minimises water evaporation from the soil
Stops weed seeds from germinating
Increases microbial activity and aids in building a healthier soil structure
Releases organic nutrients into the soil for the plants
Moderates soil temperature
Helps prevent soil erosion from both wind and water
Improves the appearance of the garden
Minimises hard work in the garden

Which mulch?

One size does not fit all! When choosing a mulch, consider:

The purpose for which you require the mulch
How long you want it to last
How attractive you want it to be
How good it is for the plants and soil
What's available, and how much do you want to spend

How much mulch?

If you wish to maximise the benefits of mulching then most barks and mulches should be applied at a depth of between 7.5 to 10 cm (3 to 4”).

This level of application will mean that you will only need to top them up about every 15 to 18 months.

To apply 10cm (4”): Measure the approximate length and width of the area to determine the m2 you wish to cover with the bark or mulch. Divide this area by 10 to determine the m3.

[Area m2 ÷10 = vol m3 to a depth of 10cm (4”)].

TIP: To keep your bark looking fresh, loosely turn the bark approximately every six months!
