Used by and gardeners across the land
Strulch - the organic straw garden mulch - is the pinnacle of eco-friendly mulch technology. It lasts up to two years once spread in your garden and borders, helping to spread the cost of gardening while saving on water and fertiliser too.
Strulch coverage
Each 9kg bag covers 3m2, and all you need is to give it a little bit of water to get the magic started.
Strulch makes your plants grow healthier and stronger, giving you more time to relax without going out with plant food once a month. It's suitable for use all times of the year around flowers, shrubs, fruit and vegetables, so whenever you buy and whatever you're planting, you're good to get Strulching.
Strulch also encourages earthworm activity by acting as a long-term food source for surface feeding species.
The most environmentally friendly way to protect and improve your plants!
Strulch is manufactured in Britain, entirely from locally sourced quality wheat straw with added iron minerals. The patented process stabilises and colours the straw producing and easy-to-use garden mulch. For use on borders, raised beds, around cultivated fruit and on vegetable plots. Leave on beds for more than one year or work into the soil at the end of the season to improve soil structure and drainage. Please note that Strulch darkens with age when spread or in the bags to produce an earthy brown colour.
Please Note: If you order 18 or more bags, this product will arrive on a pallet. It's a lot of bags!
Environmentally friendly
Strulch is made from renewable and local resources, which not only don't harm the environment but has been verified for use in organic growing systems.
Preparation
Remove existing weeds and spread around established plants and shrubs to a depth of 3-4 cm on bare soil. Each 9kg bag covers up to 3 square meters. Water the mulch to fix it in place, and leave space around woody stems to prevent rot.
Slug and snail deterrent
The physical properties of Strulch, together with the embedded minerals, discourage slugs and snails without harsh chemicals or poisons. To them it's like walking on gravel, barefoot.
Lasting weed control
Strulch inhibits weed germination and growth by blocking out light. The mineralisation process inhibits the rate at which the straw breaks down and, depending on the application rate and local conditions, can act as an efficient barrier to light for up to two years!
Reducing watering
Mulching is widely recommended as good gardening practice. It reduces water loss from evaporation, especially during summer months, saving on work and wasted water too!
Strulch organic matter contents
Strulch is biodegradable and will break down over time, adding valuable organic matter and nutrients to the soil.
- Nitrogen [N] – 0.6%
- Phosphorus [P2O5] – 0.2%
- Potassium [K2O] – 1.6% percentage dry matter
- Plus calcium, magnesium and iron (0.75%) and organic acid preservative.
Precautions
We advise wearing gloves when handling. The packed product may contain traces of iron which will be absorbed by the straw after spreading. Keep away from sources of ignition when dry.
