Top-Dress Mulch is composed of Bokashi, two grades of Alfalfa Meal, Neem Cake, ground Malt Barley, and Wheat Bran. These ingredients work together to create a nutrient-rich, microbe-friendly environment for your plants.

How does Top-Dress Mulch improve my garden's soil?

The combination of ingredients in Top-Dress Mulch helps create a micro-climate that supports beneficial bacteria and fungi in a NoTill environment. As the mulch breaks down, nutrients and microbes are slowly released into the root ball, nourishing your plants.

Can Top-Dress Mulch help with moisture retention in my garden?

Yes, the mulch layer created by Top-Dress Mulch helps encapsulate moisture in the topsoil and immediate rhizosphere. This promotes better hydration for your plants, as well as allowing bacteria and fungal microbes to function more effectively.

Top-Dress Mulch is designed to support a wide range of plants in various growing environments. Its composition allows for the slow release of nutrients and beneficial microbes, making it ideal for maintaining healthy plant growth.

How do I apply Top-Dress Mulch to my garden?

To apply Top-Dress Mulch, spread a thin layer of the finer amendment directly onto the soil around your plants. Follow this with a thicker layer of the coarser grade, ensuring that it covers the entire surface. This technique creates an environment in which microbes can thrive and nutrients can easily reach your plants' root-ball.

How often do I need to reapply Top-Dress Mulch to maintain its benefits?

The frequency of reapplication depends on factors such as plant growth rate, watering schedule, and the specific needs of your garden. Keep an eye on the mulch layer's condition and thickness, and replenish it when necessary to maintain a healthy environment for your plants.
