Mulching our Food Forest

Mulching our Food Forest

We are getting our external Mulch in Bulk from either Treepro or Meltonfarm.

Treepro is owned by Pieter Boshoff. His wife Gaye is a passionate permaculturist too. They run the HoneymoonFarm.

Mulch Pile

Since our start on 23rd September 2019 to establish a Food Forest we added 3 truck loads (!) of mulch and 2 truck loads of compost to improve our clay soil at Rosheen Crescent 17!

After about 5-7 years a Food Forest produces enough mulch to support its own growth.
