Why Tree Bark is the Best Choice for Your Garden

Making the right choices for your garden is important. Not only for the health of your plants, but also for the overall look of your outdoor space. That’s why I love Culvita Premium French Tree Bark. Not only does it offer functional benefits like weed suppression and moisture retention, it also adds a beautiful, natural element to any garden.

French bark is something special. The pieces are just the right size, 30-40 mm, which is perfect for creating sturdy and stable paths. This bark comes from carefully selected pine trees, which means it is very durable and long-lasting. If you create a garden path with this bark, you can be sure that it will look beautiful for years without much maintenance.

To use them properly I recommend the following rhythm:

• Monday: Check your garden paths and borders for bare spots where bark needs to be replenished.
• Wednesday: Lightly rake over the bark to distribute it evenly and prevent any compaction.
• Friday: Water your garden plants, especially during warm periods, to ensure that the underlying soil remains moist.
• Sunday: Enjoy your beautiful garden! Take time to walk the paths and admire the natural beauty of the tree bark.

For the seasonal changes, here are some tips:

• Summer: Check regularly that the bark is evenly distributed and top up where necessary to prevent weed growth.
• Winter: In winter the bark protects the soil from the cold, but ensure good drainage, especially during rainy periods.
• Fall: Rake away leaves that fall on the bark to preserve the bark layer and prevent it from rotting.
• Spring: This is the perfect time to add new bark and give your garden a fresh start for the new growing season.

My user advice: Place the tree bark on well-prepared ground. Make sure the subsoil is free of weeds before applying the bark. For even coverage and long-term protection, it is advisable to inspect the bark layer annually and replenish it where necessary.
