This product is from FSC MIX Sources at a minimum of 70%, FSC certificate number CU-COC-806457.

How To Use:

- Ensure the area to be mulched is entirely free from both annual and perennial weeds

- Lay Melcourt Mini Chips evenly onto freshly cultivated moist soil, after planting has been completed.

- The mulch should be laid at between 50 to 100mm depths, allowing at least 5% for settlement

- For greatest longevity, do not disturb once applied

- When used in tubs, pots and window boxes, spread to a minimum depth of 50mm, onto moist soil or compost. As the mulch will remain loose, ensure that there is a sufficient depth of rim to contain the bark.
