All of our Cairns Mulch products are available for collection from our Woree Depot, Monday to Saturday. We’re also open on all public holidays, except Christmas Day and Good Friday. Cairns Mulch provide a delivery service, catering to projects large and small. We service residential, commercial and trade clients, located across Cairns city, its suburbs and surrounding shires. From Cooktown to Cardwell, Mareeba to Mossman, we’ve got you covered.
We also have much older composted products. This is made in three types. Premium Compost, which is very old mulch, almost soil consistency. Does not contain worms but will encourage them. Potting Mix, premium compost mixed with course river sand and Garden Mix, premium compost mixed with fine sand.
Compost can be added or dug into garden beds while the soil is being turned. When planting new plants, you can add compost to the hole. (It’s usually a bad idea, however, to fill up the hole with only compost. That creates such special comfy place that plants don’t want to send their roots out into the regular soil, which inhibits their growth.) Compost can be used to ‘side-dress’ plants already in the ground by spreading the compost next to the plant and working it into the soil with a small garden fork. Compost can also be added to the mixture in which you start new plants or seeds.
We don’t use compost as mulch however. Compost is full of nutrients that we want to get down in the soil to feed the plants through their roots. In contrast, mulch is the layer of organic materials placed on the top of the soil as a protective cover. Mulch helps to suppress weed germination, retain moisture, insulate the soil, and reduce erosion. Mulch also contributes nutrients the soil by gradually breaking down over time.
