Why use

Westland Weed Stop is a protective and decorative natural mulch which is ideal for use in beds, borders, planters, containers and pots.

How to use

Preparing the area

  • Clear away any weeds in the application area completely before using Westland Weed Stop; it’s important that you remove the roots of any perennial weeds too.
  • Water plants and soil before applying to ensure the soil is moist.

 

Application

  • We recommend wearing gloves when handling Weed Stop.
  • Spread a layer of Westland Weed Stop 3cm deep over the soil surface, ensuring that the soil is evenly and completely covered.
  • When spreading, break up any clumps and fluff up the mulch to incorporate air.
  • After spreading, water over the surface of the mulch – this will lock the fibres together.
  • Use in a well ventilated place and avoid breathing in dust.

 

Aftercare

  • If any weeds appear, remove them as soon as possible to prevent them from spreading.
  • Westland Weed Stop will stay effective for years after application, but may need occasional replenishment to maintain a thick layer on top of the soil surface.

 

Coverage

  • A 90 litre bag can cover up to 2.4sqm at a depth of 3cm.

  • Westland Weed Stop is great for use with garden bulbs – bulbs will grow through the barrier and flower normally
  • Westland Weed Stop is safe for use with ericaceous, lime-hating and acid-loving plants
