Watering
Mulch to hold moisture
When spreading compost or bark mulch, wear gloves and avoid breathing in the dust; open bags of compost or manure at arm's length in the open air, as growing media can carry bacteria that may harm your lungs.
- Where to get help
- NHS 111, or seek medical advice; the product label
A 5cm layer of compost, bark or gravel locks moisture in and cuts watering right down.
Notes
Apply to damp soil, not dry.
