How can bark mulch be used in the front garden?

All-rounder from nature – areas of application for bark mulch
Bark mulch is made up of the peeled bark of pine, spruce, Douglas fir or pine trees. Thanks to the tannins it contains, its use is not limited to decorative functions. We have summarized for you where you can benefit from natural mulch in the front garden:
- For effective suppression of weeds in every bed
- As a cost-effective alternative to natural stone paving as a path surface
- The ideal mulching material for the shady front garden on the north side
- Colored pine bark for Mediterranean bed design
It is important to note when using it that you distribute bark mulch in the front garden together with a nitrogen fertilizer (€16.00 on Amazon). In the first phase of its decomposition, the material removes nitrogen from the soil until the nutrient cycle starts and becomes self-sustaining.
