Mulches and Mulching Services
These days, the benefits of mulching are widely recognised. A wide variety of materials can be used. Many commercial mulches are made from by-products of agriculture, horticulture and the timber or food industries. This will influence the types of mulching materials that are available locally. For example, sugar cane mulch is popular in Queensland. Other factors that may affect choice of mulch include price, durability, nutritive properties and aesthetic appearence.
Several overviews of the principles of mulching are linked to at the bottom of the page, along with some more detailed studies. The rest of this page will concentrate mulching products and services available in Qld.

Tannins could be a problem in hotter drier climates
A U.S. study has shown that under hot, drought-like conditions, red maple leaves accumulate tannins that interfere with enzymes in soil. When such leaves fall, they could impair decomposition, nutrient cycling, and subsequent plant growth. Source: Drought-exposed leaves adversely affect soil nutrients, study shows (April 2011)
