Our mulch doesn’t have a manure smell, rather has an ammonia smell that dissipates quickly when spread. Left standing outside this will dissipate naturally in around 24 – 48 hours depending on the weather conditions.

Important information

When applying our Mulch this spring, we would strongly recommend leaving a space around your young or tender plants. This will avoid any chance of burning issues. This happens due to the ammonia content. This will dissipate after around 24 hours being outside.

Caution do not store or use our fresh Soil Improving Mulch in enclosed places (greenhouses, polytunnels, garages, cold frames and cloches).

Wow! Just love this stuff, so easy to spread and makes the beds look instantly fab! The soil in our garden is dreadful and I’m looking forward to seeing the results. George the delivery driver couldn’t have been more helpful and was a delight to deal with

I just wanted to express my appreciation for your driver ( David) who made my delivery on Tuesday morning. He was so very helpful and a real ambassador for your business.  It makes such a difference to deal with a gentleman like him.

We've ordered a bag for each of the last two years. It does what they say. Our clay with flint soil definitely needs something, and this does the job. May not need as much this year though.

It's a beautiful mulch, delivered by an obliging man who didnt grumble at my difficult to access garden. Highly recommend

Just place my second order. Having lost my ‘mulch provider’ (an aged pony kept on deep litter system hemp bedding) a few years ago, hadn’t found anything that was doing the job the same. Came across this ‘by accident’. Bag arrived up to us in East Anglia with minimum of fuss and having been put in place and found to ‘look similar’ (high praise indeed) – we are getting more AND taking advantage of the Plant food/Mulch offer. Win Win!!!

I am a happy Apsley Farms (AF) customer. Just placed my 4th order. I tried an experiment in the past 12 months- 2 similar borders in the same garden, one was mulched last Autumn with AF soil improver. One had no mulch applied. No contest as to which performed better this year. And I've recommended AF to colleagues on my RHS Horticulture Course. No hesitation in recommending the soil improver, and liquid fertiliser. Thanks Apsley Farms!
