🌱 The Eco Benefits of Using Locally Sourced Mulch & Soil

In today’s eco-conscious world, the materials we use in our gardens matter more than ever. At ID Garden & Landscape Centre, we're proud to support sustainable landscaping through our range of locally sourced mulches, soils, and composts.

By choosing materials that are produced close to home, you’re not just nurturing your garden—you’re supporting a more sustainable future for Victoria.

 

✅ 1. Lower Carbon Footprint

Products that are sourced and processed nearby don’t need to be transported long distances. That means:

  • Fewer emissions from transport trucks
  • Reduced fossil fuel use in the supply chain
  • A lower overall carbon footprint for your landscaping project

Our soil blends, composts, and mulches from partners like RePurpose It are processed in Melbourne’s north—right in our backyard.

 

🔁 2. Supports the Circular Economy

Much of our organic range, including:

·      Diggers Compost

·      Reground Bush Mulch

·      Arborists/Leaf Mulch

…is made from recycled organic matter like green waste, prunings, and street tree offcuts that would otherwise go to landfill.

By using these products, you’re helping divert waste and transform it into nutrient-rich garden materials.

 

🌻 3. Healthier Soil = Healthier Plants

Local mulches and soils are often better suited to local growing conditions:

  • Less risk of contamination
  • More stable pH and structure
  • Better microbial compatibility with local plants and fungi

Our Lawn Blend Soil and Garden Blend Soil are carefully mixed to suit the needs of Eltham’s gardens—whether you're topping up veggie beds or establishing new turf.

 

🏡 4. Supports Local Jobs and Innovation

By choosing Australian-made and Victorian-processed landscaping supplies, you help support:

  • Local businesses like RePurpose It and Madewell Products
  • Sustainable innovations like the Durabar GFRP concrete reinforcement bar
  • Resilient local economies, especially in regional areas

It’s good for the environment and good for your community.
