Liz, what is woodchip good for in the garden? Is it just decorative? Thanks Christina

It’s 100% organic (and natural)
It’s great at retaining water – helping your soils stay moist by “trapping” water and stopping it from evaporating, contributing to your plants’ health.
It inhibits weed growth – as a layer of woodchip prevents light from getting to weeds, suppressing their growth, and making your garden easier to maintain.
It can act as a “slow” fertiliser – as, when woodchips rot over time, they “feed” the soil.
It provides protection against the weather - as woodchips can help to maintain temperatures in your plant beds throughout the seasons, keeping them cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
It can even defend your plants against pests and diseases – keeping them vibrant and healthy!
It recycles garden waste – ensuring your excess wood doesn’t have to go to landfill, giving it a better purpose.
It’s free! Woodchip can be easily created at home if you have enough material or picked up from a local arborist.
