Meta Description: Discover the benefits of Eucy Mulch for Melbourne gardens. Learn the difference between fine and chunky styles and how to choose the right one for your space.
🌿 Why We Love Eucy Mulch for Melbourne Gardens (Fine vs Chunky)
At ID Garden & Landscape Centre, mulch isn’t just an afterthought — it’s a foundation for healthy, low-maintenance gardens. And when it comes to dependable, locally sourced options, Eucy Mulch is one of our top recommendations for gardens across Eltham, Research, Warrandyte and beyond.
Let’s explore why Eucy Mulch works so well — and how to choose between Fine and Chunky textures.
🌱 What is Eucy Mulch?
Eucy Mulch (short for Eucalyptus Mulch) is a recycled green waste product derived from a mix of species, including Eucalyptus trees. It’s processed locally by RePurpose It, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly option that’s:
- Free from synthetic additives
- Naturally aromatic (deterring some pests)
- Long-lasting and slow to break down
- Available in Fine or Chunky textures to suit different garden needs
🌿 Fine Eucy Mulch – Best for Tidy, Waterwise Beds
Fine Eucy Mulch is finely shredded and spreads easily for a neat, uniform look.
Best for:
· Formal gardens or small landscaped beds
· Water retention in high-sun areas
· Flowering plants and vegetables that like moisture
Benefits:
· Breaks down faster, adding organic matter to soil
· Forms a tighter mat, helping suppress weeds
· Ideal for smaller plants that need stable moisture levels
✨ Pro tip: Apply a 5–7cm layer and water in well to help it settle and lock in soil moisture.
Chunky Eucy Mulch – Best for Native Gardens & Large Spaces
Chunky Eucy Mulch is coarser, with larger wood chips and bark fragments. It’s perfect for more natural, bushland-style plantings.
Best for:
- Native and drought-tolerant gardens
- Large-scale beds, slopes or embankments
- Areas exposed to wind or erosion
Benefits:
- Slower to break down — longer-lasting coverage
- Looser texture improves airflow around plant stems
- Looks more natural in informal, habitat-focused gardens
✨ Pro tip: Great under trees or in wildlife gardens where you want to mimic the natural forest floor.
