Bark for your garden

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

RoLawn Direct have three types of bark for your garden. Ensure your borders stay weed free by giving them a really good weeding and then cover them with a layer of bark as a mulch around the plants. It keeps weeds down by and makes it easier for your plants to grow. Mulching with bark keeps the water in the soil too – which helps your plants get the start they need. Ideal for around winter bedding plants or existing shrubs. Your garden will look really good with bark on the beds!
Buying bark in bulk from rolawn is less effort than going along to the local garden centre and loading up the car with bags of bark. It gets delivered to your door and means you get better value for money too.
Play bark can be used on the areas where the kids have their swing and slides. It stops the mud churning up and keeps your garden neater!

Rolawn Decorative Bark (approx 1m³ when packed)
Rolawn Decorative Bark (approx 1m³ when packed) £114.40

Feed the birds with Jersey Plants Direct bird feed offers

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Jersey Plants Direct have lots of great ways to help you feed the birds for less. Our gardens need birds and it’s our job to ensure we do as much as possible to support them. They should have a bird bath available of clean water and ensure it’s topped up regularly. You’ll get all sorts of birds stopping by for a bath from the humble sparrow to blackbirds and even the odd jay!

By putting out the right food for birds you ensure they can survive the winter! Especially important if we’re to have another cold winter like last year! If it snows then the birds find it hard to get at their normal food and if it’s frozen the worms are out of the blackbird’s reach!
Take care of your feathered friends!
