For Soil Amendment
Mix pine bark compost into garden beds at ratio of one part bark to three parts soil. Work material into top 6 to 8 inches of soil before planting for improved structure and nutrient content.
For Decorative Applications
Spread pine bark mini nuggets or pine bark mulch nuggets around landscape features for attractive, natural appearance. Refresh top layer annually to maintain fresh look and continued weed suppression effectiveness.
