Dandy's love...
Composted Mulch Fines - perfect for borders with a clay soil and bad drainage.
Multi Purpose Compost - lovely black compost that is ideal for sad soils with a sandy consistency, will rot down quicker though so may need topping up more regularly.
Landscaping Bark - suppresses weeds, traps heat and gives a lovely tidy finish.
Mushroom Compost - great for veg plots as it's easy to work with and the pH will help improve your yield.
Play Bark - our Play Bark is more uniform so is very decorative, but it still has the same benefits are the Landscaping Bark.
Plant out your Christmas Tree...
If you have bought a tree with a root ball for the Christmas period you are lucky you can now transfer your tree outside. Spruces, Pines and Furs prefer a natural sandy loam like our Christmas Compost (or Lawnmix Topsoil).
Feed the birds...
Winter can be especially hard on our British wildlife. Put out wild bird seed and fat balls. Top up feeders for squirrels and ensure ice is broken on bird baths and ponds.
