We now stock Strulch at the Trading Store. Find out more Strulch Close Strulch Mineralised Straw Mulch Strulch is a mineralised straw mulch that first came to our attention when we were at Capel Manor Gardens in June, they were using it in the 'Which? Gardening' Trial Gardens there. Here are the details: made from wheat straw which has been specially processed, it is a biodegradable mulch that has been verified for organic growing systems and can be used throughout the garden on borders, raised beds, around cultivated fruit and on vegetable plots. Strulch reduces weed growth, saves water, improves soil and acts as a slug and snail deterrent. It lasts up to two years when correctly used. From Sunday 16th July we will be stocking Strulch at the Trading Store. It will be in 150l bags, which is enough to cover up to 4.5 sqm. and will cost £9.00 per bag. Visit the Strulch website for more information.
