A person can easily make their own mulch in Perth for free, if they have patience and if they have a fairly large garden with trees, shrubs and bushes. Mulch is basically offcuts of all these things, bark, leaves, twigs, shrubs, flowers and so, all raked together and left in a pile to decompose into mulch. The result is a rich mulch, one filled with nutrients, that can then be raked back into the garden or veggie patch or farm. The thing is, it takes a long time to make mulch and you do need to have a fairly decent sized garden to do it. That is why the people who do make mulch, and sell it, are generally those people who own and manage their own forests or farms.
Cost of mulch
Mulch is always going to be cheap. You are paying for labour when you buy mulch. Mulch is made of offcuts from gardens, farms or forests, or all combined. It is the natural product or produce of a tree, bush, shrub, grass or cutting, fruit tree or vegetable crop. Mulch is the part that is cut off, falls off, dries off, and is then all raked together. The labour is in the collecting, raking, composting, and then bagging it and getting it ready for the market or for sale. Mulch is natural and actually, this is an important part. Mulch must be natural. You do not want anything that is not natural added to your mulch. Mulch should not have any fertilisers in it, any plastics in it, any waste materials. Mulch needs to be natural to be healthy and nutritious. And that is why you buy mulch from reputable suppliers, so that you know exactly what has gone into it. And if you cannot buy it from reputable suppliers, then you make your own mulch. This is the free part, it just takes diligence to do it.
Farmers and mulch
People who grow fruit or vegetables need a lot of mulch especially if they want great and successful crops. They may make their own or they may get it from the mulch manufacturers. A private residential garden may not need as much mulch as a farm, which means just one delivery a season, whereas a farm may need a big delivery once or twice a season. The big mulch producers take orders online and they deliver bulk orders but they will deliver smaller orders if it is an area that is reasonable for them. Farmers rely on good quality mulch for their bumper crops but so do small holdings, and so do residences who just want a gorgeous green lawn and a lovely and coloured and healthy garden.
Order mulch in time for the dry season, to moisturise the soil, and in time for the wet season, to keep the soil warm. Mulch enriches and gives the soil vital nutrients and minerals. You can get mulch in perth directly from the mulch manufacturers.
