| Decorative, retaining moisture and while inhibiting weed growth, stimilating plant growth. As Rooibos, Apalathus Linearis, is part of the Fynbos species, our Real Rooibos Mulch is excellent for growing any fynbos species in your garden - using as a mulch or mixing with compost. |
| 1 - Rooibos mulch forms a crusty layer on the soil after a few waterings.
This layer reduces water loss through evaporation and is thus ideal
for reducing stress on young transplants and contributes to considerable
water saving in gardens and potplants.
2 - a 10 - 15% better growth was observed on young
plants when using the rooibos mulch.
3 - The mulch is a natural organic product and will not
harm the environment - it is attractive and will notblow
away once watered thoroughly.
4 - Snails dislike the slightly sharp stalk edges - a good biological pest control.
5 - The tea reduces germination of weeds through
formation of an insulating layer above the soil, thus
facilitating cleaner seedbeds and potplants.
6 - The leachate, which is low in tannins, is beneficial to plant
and root development. Tea has been used by gardeners since
Grandma´s days for maintaining healthy growth.
7 - Mixed with potting soil, it provides an excellent growing medium - light and well drained.
8 - PH is between 5 and 5.5 - ideal for plants
requiring slightly acidic medium. Bonemeal or lime
can be added to modify pH for plants requiring more alkaline conditions.
In summary, rooibos mulch is an excellent way to improve gardens, potplants and lawns in an organically friendly way. |
