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