🌱 Mulch Matters: Choosing the Right Mulch for Eltham’s Climate

At ID Garden & Landscape Centre, we take pride in stocking sustainable, locally sourced mulches that suit the unique conditions of Eltham and surrounding suburbs. That’s why we’ve partnered with RePurpose It, a local leader in recycled landscape materials, to supply high-quality mulches that work with our climate and support circular resource use.

🌿 Why Mulch Is a Must in Eltham

Eltham’s gardens face the full spectrum of Melbourne’s weather — from summer heat to winter chill. Mulching is one of the simplest, most effective ways to:

  • Retain moisture in hot, dry weather
  • Suppress weeds without chemicals
  • Insulate soil and protect roots from extreme temperatures
  • Prevent erosion on slopes and exposed beds
  • Add long-term organic matter back into the soil

🌿 Our Locally Sourced Mulch Range from RePurpose It

Here’s a closer look at the mulch types we stock and how they perform in Eltham’s garden conditions:

🌳 Reground Bush Mulch
 A cost-effective, eco-friendly mulch made from recycled tree prunings and green waste.

  • Coarse texture helps suppress weeds and reduce evaporation
  • Natural appearance blends into native or informal gardens
  • Breaks down over time to improve soil structure

🌿 Eucy Mulch – Fine
 Finely shredded mulch with a rich, earthy scent.

  • Ideal for native gardens and established beds
  • Breaks down slowly and retains moisture well
  • Helps repel some pests naturally
  • 🌿 Eucy Mulch – Chunky
     Larger-grade eucalyptus mulch for long-term coverage.
  • Great for high-traffic or windy areas
  • Slower to break down, so it lasts longer
  • Creates a clean, natural look for formal and native gardens alike

🌲 Arborists Mulch
 A fresh, mixed mulch from local tree works.

  • Affordable and great for large areas or rough coverage
  • Contains a mix of woodchip sizes and leaf matter
  • Nutrient-rich as it breaks down — ideal for replenishing tired soils

🧸 Softfall Mulch
 Certified softfall mulch perfect for playgrounds and pathways.

  • Meets Australian safety standards for impact absorption
  • Clean and uniform texture
  • Suitable for under play equipment or walkways in natural gardens

🌻 Tips for Mulching Success in Eltham

  • Apply 50-75mm thick for best moisture retention and weed control – too thick and you risk preventing rainfall and runoff from penetrating the mulch layer and making it’s way into the soil. Too thin and you will lose the beneficial effects of water retention and thermal protection.
  • Keep mulch clear of plant stems and trunks
  • Refresh yearly, or more often in high-traffic or sloped areas
  • Choose mulch based on function: decorative, protective, or soil-improving
