Rexius: Your Landscape - Garden Valley Bark Nuggets

Garden Valley Bark Nuggets are produced from the bark of the Douglas Fir tree. Bark Nuggets are free of fines and make a beautiful wind resistant decorative ground cover to enhance the look of any landscape. They are ideal when a coarser, more textured look is desired.

It is best to apply 3 to 4 inches deep, or 2 to 3 inches deep over the top of Bark Mulch for weed control. If additional help is needed for better weed control, a poly fabric weed barrier may be used underneath the Bark Nuggets. We would not normally recommend such products as visqueen for a weed barrier as it doesn't allow moisture and air to pass through to the plant's root system. At the customer's discretion, a variety of pre-emergent granular herbicides may be used in conjunction with the Bark Nuggets for longer term weed suppression.

Although longer lasting than most mulches, a thin layer of Bark Nuggets should be applied each year to maintain a fresh appearance.
