Description
Bark chippings are mostly used to cover bare soil areas in borders and flowerbeds which will give your garden a clean and crisp finish and help your flowers and plants shine through.
Bark not only looks good but it has many benefits for your garden. It helps to suppress weed growth, retains soil moisture, regulates soil temperature, and enhances soil fertility, this is known as mulching.
