What you think about Strulch. We are always keen to hear what our customers say about Strulch. Thank you.

Lightweight and looks great

A very lightweight organic mulch that looks great and has dual purpose. We are really pleased and would recommend highly.

Alnwick garden

As a stockist of Strulch I was interested to see Alnwick garden's use of it, back in March. Some borders had just been freshly mulched (see photo). The head gardener says their slug susceptible plants do really well and is a prime reason for using it. They use it in the ornamental garden. A good recommendation to pass onto clients!

I’ve hardly had to weed or water

I used Strulch for the first time this spring. I’ve got large new borders and a veggie garden, I thought as a test I’d use Strulch on the borders and continue with Nematodes in the veggie garden. I’ve spent a comparable amount of money on both and the Strulch has performed amazingly well - I’ve hardly had to weed or water. The garden birds love scratching about in it for insects, my cats love sleeping on it and it looks good, very natural. I’ve grown Hostas, Dahlias and a lot of other perennials without any slug damage. Nematodes on the other hand have performed badly, compared to Strulch. I think they are less environmentally friendly because of the vast amount of water needed to apply them and then also keep the area damp for 2 weeks after. This makes them labour intensive and guess what? I still have slugs eating all my lovely veg. So, I’ve decided to buy more Strulch this year for the veggie garden, I might apply a dose of Nematodes in the Spring but only one dose under the Strulch. I bet the results will be much better. If you haven’t bought any yet because you think it’s expensive, it’s the same price as treating a garden with Nematodes for a year but much more successful and environmentally friendly.

Strulch is a great product

I started to use strulch last year, purchasing a total of 12 bags (so far) from Crocus, which I've used in various areas of my garden borders and the raised beds where I grow fruit and vegetables.

I have been particularly pleased with strulch as a mulch and protection around strawberries: weed suppression was excellent and slug damage was negligible.

An additional bonus seems to have been in how the runners I pegged down in early August have rooted through the strulch. Although I can only compare the results from memory, I am convinced that I have just transplanted the strongest batch of newly rooted runners in 30 years of growing strawberries!

Strulch bags are excellent for rapid compost making

I've had Strulch in 150 Ltr white sacks with holes punched into them. After the Strulch is used up the bags are excellent for rapid compost making. Not being too large they fill up quickly, sealed at top and placed in any odd place around the garden. Worms enter and do their stuff.

More convenient and far quicker than my compost bin which is too big.

I think you should sell them as an additional item in your range for this purpose.

Hedgehogs

Dear Jackie Lots of hedgehogs in our garden! Best wishes David

Cottage Garden in Surrey

We're busy people and never have as much time for gardening as we'd like. We have many herbaceous borders in our garden and weeds and slugs were a constant problem till we discovered Strulch! It's really effective. Slug fest plants like Lupins and Delphiniums seem to benefit greatly :-) Not sure my Hostas will be as lucky but it's worth trying! PS Think I need a top up this Spring as first beds I did about a year ago are more weedy this year but it's mainly Oxalis and I think that's a tricky weed to wipe out as it has little seeds/bulbs? Sure more expert gardeners will correct me!

Spring cleaning

Strulch has kept the weeds down every bit as promised and topping it up in spring sets the hellebores and bergenias off nicely.

Wonderful stuff!

We're running out & will be reordering asap. Strulch does exactly what we wanted it to do. A marked reduction in slugs & snails and uniform bed coverage. Easy to use & not at all messy.

Reduces workload

We are approaching 80, still love our garden but with 1/2 acre, mostly herbaceous borders, it is now a challenge. However, Strulch has virtually eliminated weeding, keeps moisture in our sandy soil & improves the soil as it integrates after a couple of years. Visitors,when our garden is open, can't believe how good it looks & how we manage! Brilliant.

Great product!

We Strulched our garden last year and the difference it has made in suppressing weeds is huge. It also makes the garden look neat, tidy and cared for. Can highly recommend.

Amazing service

Amazing service Jackie, thank you much, palette arrived safely and an extremely conscientious driver.

Growing potatoes with Strulch

This year we decided to try 'earthing up' our potatoes with Strulch. The potatoes were planted in the compost in our beds and then Strulch added on top as needed. When we came to harvest them the potatoes were easily retrieved by removing the Strulch with very little digging (as you can see in the photo). We had seen someone on the internet growing potatoes by laying the seed potatoes on the compost and then covering them with grass clippings, then just harvesting them by pulling them out of the grass! So, next year we will try just laying the potatoes on the compost and covering with Strulch - we should then be able to harvest without any digging! Once finished the Strulch can always be reused on your borders for that autumn mulch, so no waste.

Keeps weeds at bay

We saw this little hedgehog on our walk round the block last night. Also have them in our garden. We have Strulch all over our flowerbeds and it has kept all the weeds at bay, brilliant stuff.

Good in so many ways

We open our garden for charity under the National Garden Scheme several times each year. Our visitors are always very complimentary about how good the Strulch looks on our borders, particularly enhancing all forms of green and dark leaf plants. We have been using Strulch since 2013 and consider it to be the best mulch on the market, excellent at moisture retention and suppressing weeds. It saves us many hours of work throughout the year.

Easy to spread

Morning, following the article in The English Garden magazine where Strulch came out top in a mulch test I have been determined to mulch with it this autumn and my delivery arrived yesterday and I am going to start some parts today. I already love the weight of the product as I have a dodgy back and that is a bonus. I have a very tiny garden full to the brim and only 2 years in the making but I am opening to the public next year under the NGS scheme so I am hoping you and the RHS plus others that love are right in your faith and here goes. .......Started to spread the Strulch and 1st thoughts are easy so very easy !! and it is spreading so far even with a thick layer, also good around smaller plants that have just been put in, and very good on my back which for a gardener with problems is fairly crucial. I will post some pictures soon.
