Martin’s Lucerne Mulch (Alfalfa) is an outstanding mulch. It is very nutritious and is one of the very few mulches which breaks down reasonably quickly adding substantial nitrogen to the soil.
Mulching Benefits:
Adds a decorative element to all garden types
Improves water penetration and reduces evaporation. Mulch also prevents water run-off and soil erosion
Reduces the soil’s exposure to sun and frost, protecting the plant from extreme changes in soil temperature
How To Use:
Apply mulch to the soil surface to a depth of 4cm to 8cm in landscape gardens or 2cm to 4cm in pots. This is the ideal depth to allow the following:
Maximum water penetration
Minimum evaporation & buffer soil temperature against heat or frost
Weed suppression
Erosion control
Used extensively as the key mulch in organic and no dig gardens
Rich in beneficial essential and trace elements
Breaks down to feed plants and improve soil structure (especially clay and sand-based soil that lacks organic matter)
Ideal mulch/feed for roses and shrubs
Excellent activator for compost
