Bark mulch - ideal for mulching raspberries
Raspberries love a loose, evenly moist and nutrient-rich soil. Bark mulch is the ideal cover for your raspberries. With a mulch cover, only a few weeds can accumulate under the shrubs.
The advantages of bark mulch
Apply mulch cover in autumn
Preparing your raspberries for the winter in autumn is the best time to spread bark mulch under the bushes.
Bark mulch rots slowly, releasing many nutrients. They penetrate the soil and act as a natural fertilizer.
Unlike mulch materials such as leaves and grass, bark mulch contains no seeds and rarely pathogens.
Tips & Tricks
Many communities drive shrubs from private gardens several times a year and process them into bark mulch. The mulch is given to interested garden owners for a small fee or even free.
