STRULCH Straw mulch for organic gardening


Gardening has never been more vital — and mulching your garden is a good investment. Strulch, the straw mulch for organic gardening, is fast becoming the go-to product for professional and amateur gardeners alike. Long-lasting Strulch stops weeds germinating, keeps moisture in the soil, improves soil structure and drainage and, as an added bonus, even deters slugs and snails. It’s a small family-run business with a university scientist behind it, and has been endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society. strulch.co.uk
