Ground Cover Mulch

When it comes to giving your garden a polished, professional finish while keeping your plants thriving, Peats Groundcover Mulch is the gold standard. Produced by South Australia’s premier organic recycling experts, Peats Soil, this range of groundcover is engineered to do far more than just look pretty. It acts as a protective, nutrient-rich shield that insulates your soil from the harsh Australian elements.

Key Benefits & Features

• Exceptional Moisture Retention: Drastically reduces water evaporation from the soil surface, keeping your root zones hydrated and cutting down your water bill.

• Natural Weed Suppression: Blocks out the sunlight that pesky weed seeds need to germinate, saving you from hours of tedious hand-weeding.

• Thermal Pasteurisation: Peats organic mulches undergo a rigorous composting heat process that destroys pathogens and stray weed seeds, ensuring you are putting nothing but pure goodness onto your beds.

• Temperature Regulation: Acts as a climate-control system for plant roots, keeping them cool during blistering summer days and insulated during frosty winter nights.

• Boosts Soil Biology: As the organic matter slowly decomposes, it stimulates earthworm and beneficial microbial activity, naturally boosting the long-term fertility of the dirt underneath.

To get the absolute most out of your mulch, apply it at a consistent depth of 50mm to 75mm across your garden beds.

Landscaper’s Tip: Always leave a small gap around the immediate base of plant stems and tree trunks. "Donut" the mulch around your plants, don't "volcano" it! Piling mulch directly against the bark traps moisture and creates a cozy environment for rot, pests, and fungal diseases.
