A coarse type of mulch is best used for planting larger plants, such as around ornamental shrubs and conifers. It must be remembered that the thickest layer of coarse mulch must be applied, otherwise there may be unwanted gaps between the larger pieces of bark where weeds can seed and grow. This type of mulch will be ideal for children’s playgrounds, walkways and simply as a decorative and at the same time lining material. After all, nothing more similar to the land of the pine forest has yet been created.
