bark annually.

TO REDUCE PERENNIAL WEED
PROBLEMS
• For best results, laying a perforated plastic or
fabric membrane under the bark mulch is
advisable to further reduce weed problems where
perennial weeds occur.
• Cut an X shaped hole in the membrane and plant
shrubs and flowers into planting hole underneath
the membrane.
700mm
• Spread the bark chips back under the plant canopy
to cover the membrane.
FOR USE IN LARGE
PLANTERS/CONTAINERS
• When planting large containers & planters, leave a
5-7 cm space at top of the container or planter.
• Spread a 3-5 cm layer of bark over the top of the
compost or soil. This will provide important
thermal insulation, reduce water loss and make
the containers easier to water.
FOR USE IN PLAY AREAS
• Prepare the area by removing all weeds and debris.
• Spread a layer of bark 20-30 cm deep over the area.
AFTERCARE OF PLAY AREAS
• Check the play area daily and ensure that there is
an even coverage of bark over the area with a
minimum depth of 20 cm, top up with new bark if
necessary. Remove any debris and foreign matter
that may have appeared in the bark.
• Westland Bed & Border Chipped Bark will only
provide protection as an impact absorbing
surface. Bed & Border Bark Chips can be abrasive
and particularly in dry conditions, can cause
scratches. It is recommended that if the bark
becomes very dry that it is watered to reduce the
risk of scratches.
HANDY GARDENING TIPS
• Store in a dry frost free place away from weed
killers and other garden chemicals.

WHY USE IT?
Ideal for giving a decorative, attractive finish for
beds & borders. Westland Bed & Border Chipped
Bark is also great for controlling weed growth,
retaining moisture and protecting plant roots
from extreme temperature.
These large brown chips of bark (approximately
20-30mm – size can vary) can also reduce the
spread of fungal disease on leaves caused by rain
splashes. Plus it looks great too.
GREAT FOR ALL-ROUND USE
Westland Bed & Border Chipped Bark can be used
in beds, borders and for large planters/containers.
It’s also suitable for use in children’s play areas,
providing a safe surface with good impact
absorbing properties.
At Westland we’ve spent years perfecting our bark
range to give the best results, so don’t delay...roll
up your sleeves and get on with it!
