Our mulch does not have a manure smell, rather has an ammonia smell that dissipates quickly when spread. Left standing outside this will dissipate naturally in around 24 hours.

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).

Such a lovely company. I use their Mulch and recently found out they also sell Dry Ice. I ordered some for a halloween party and we made some great effects! Thank you for your advice, communications and product.

Hello,
Just to say Jeff did a fabulous job of delivering the three large bags, up an inclined driveway and positioning the bags perfectly.
He was friendly and engaging (from a distance!) and a great ambassador for the Apsley Farm business.
Jeff also messaged me 15 mins before arrival so I was able to move the car well out of the way.
Great job!
Thanks
