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).

Just to say a very big thank you for the delivery on Friday. What can I say other than we are all very pleased. Excellent product, great service and great delivery. Everyone has been helpful, friendly and very professional. I have no doubt that we will be hoping to do business again in the future (if you can bear to drive to Kent again). Warm regards Frances

I ordered 2 bulk bags late on a Monday evening - delivered early Thursday morning with pinpoint accuracy exactly where i needed them placed. I was expecting to have to pay a bit extra for delivery as i live just a little over 30 miles from the farm but it was all included - so really pleased and will definitely use again. Thanks.
