Cedar Bark

Cedar bark mulch is a popular choice among gardeners for its distinctive reddish-brown hue and aromatic scent. AHS Ltd, a leading UK supplier, offers a variety of bark and woodchip products suitable for various landscaping needs.

One of the primary benefits of cedar mulch is its natural insect-repellent properties. The aromatic hydrocarbons and other natural chemicals, such as thujone, emitted by cedar act as deterrents to pests like termites, cockroaches, and certain ants.

Additionally, cedar mulch aids in moisture retention and temperature regulation within the soil. By forming a protective layer, it reduces water evaporation and insulates plant roots against temperature fluctuations, promoting healthier plant growth.

However, it’s important to note that cedar mulch decomposes at a slower rate compared to other organic mulches. While this means it lasts longer, it also implies that it contributes fewer nutrients to the soil over time.

Incorporating cedar bark mulch from AHS Ltd into your garden can enhance its aesthetic appeal while providing functional benefits. By choosing this natural material, gardeners can achieve a balance between beauty and practicality in their outdoor spaces.
