Question 1

Hi, would this be appropriate to put on top of plant pots (full of compost) to retain moisture a bit better?

Accepted Answer

Hi Nicki, I use it on my garden where my greyhound has stripped my lawn to control the mud. I see no issues with you using it on plant pots as a mulch, its quite fine material about 50mm long or less. You will still need to water your plants though.

Question 2

Can this product save my climbing rose ,infected with black spot? Thinking of spreading it around a tall rose before I start cutting it down,  ?

Accepted Answer

As blackspot is a fungus disease that is very diverse with new strains arising rapidly, it can be very difficult to prevent and treat. Research suggests avoiding pests, diseases and weeds by good practice in cultivation methods, cultivar selection, garden hygiene and encouraging or introducing natural enemies should be the first lone of control. If chemical controls are used, they should be used only in a minimal and highly targeted manner.
Collect and destroy fallen leaves in the autumn or bury under a thick layer of mulch - so layering Strulch over leaves will assist with this.
If practical, pick off and dispose of any leaves that remain on the plant over the winter months.

Question 3

What area does one bag cover

Accepted Answer

Good Morning,

Kind regards,

Question 4

Can this be used to grow Mushrooms 🍄?

Accepted Answer

No. It is a mulch that improves soil and suppresses  weeds. You need compost or mushroom compost or straw and manure.
