Benefits of using pine bark

• Weed control: The bark acts as a natural barrier that limits the growth of weeds. This saves you the time and effort you would have to spend removing them.
• Moisture retention: Pine bark effectively retains moisture in the soil, which is especially important during periods of drought. This helps maintain an appropriate level of moisture, which in turn supports the healthy development of the plant's root system.
• Soil temperature regulation: The bark acts as a natural insulation, helping to maintain an optimal soil temperature. On hot days, it protects against overheating, and on colder nights, it prevents the temperature from dropping too quickly.
• Garden aesthetics: Pine bark has a natural, attractive appearance that blends in perfectly with various garden styles. It can be used as a decorative element in flower beds, around trees and shrubs, as well as in rock gardens.

Applications of pine bark

• Plant mulching: Ideal for mulching flowers, shrubs, fruit trees and vegetables. It creates a protective layer that supports their development.
• Ornamental garden: Perfect for decorating paths, flower beds and as a background for other plants.
• Rock garden: Pine bark works great in rock gardens, where it adds a natural character and affects the aesthetics.

How to use pine bark

• Site preparation: Before applying the bark, the area should be cleared of weeds and other debris.
• Applying the bark: Spread the bark evenly over the soil surface, creating a layer 5 to 10 cm thick.
• Regular maintenance: Check the condition of the bark regularly. Over time, it may be necessary to add a fresh layer to maintain its functionality.
