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).

We top dressed with this in the autumn and as we're just starting a spring tidy up we're noticing the soil is much easier to work with. We think it's kept weeds down too.

I have been ordering the Apsley mulch for a few years, and it does miracles to my allotment. Fantastic stuff! Same with their customer service - exceptional! This year I did my order in a rush and did not even notice that delivery was set up to my home address rather than allotment. The lovely, lovely delivery driver did not even hesitate for a second after turning up on my home doorstep - simply took it where it was meant to go. Thank you again.

just had ours delivered for the 2nd time and the guy was super helpful delivering into a tight spot on our drive, the mulch product has been really helpful we bought it a couple of seasons ago for general mulching and improving/bulking out the compost and it's made a real difference that lasted 2 years, but to keep that soil structure and to spend less on compost by rejuvenating old stuff, got it again this year. wouldn't usually make reviews but with how much everything is going up in price want people to see how useful this product can be to consider, however it also wont last as long as other composts that have a lot more woody products going into it in a structural sense, after 2 years it will will all be consumed by worms and such leaving behind long-lasting nutrition (in my unscientific and small scale garden opinion)

I've just received my bag of mulch - big "Thank You" to the delivery driver who managed to deliver the bag much further up the drive than I'd hoped! I've already spread the mulch round the garden; it's lovely and easy to handle, and the garden looks great! I can't make enough home-made garden compost for the number of beds I have, so Apsley Mulch is a great addition. I'll definitely be getting this again 🙂
