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

Third order this year!

The plants love it, it looks and smells much better than other mulches I've tried, it deters slugs from eating my strawberries, and our six chickens adore it: they love to kick it up and dig through it, they eat it with relish and if I want to encourage them to go into a new area I just toss in a handful of Strulch and they are right in there after it. They even like to nest in it. And for me it is light enough to move around - with other mulches I have to get some big strong chap to come help with a wheelbarrow. I can even reuse the white bags around the garden, much prettier than black ones to line planters and easier to recycle.

The best mulch I've used

Strulch is best mulch for all-round performance I've used yet. Have tried various barks, coir and straw, and stulch performs better, considering cost as well. I use strulch for containers where I grow veg and for hanging baskets, as well as beds. Worms love the stuff - my containers teem with worms, and it helps greatly with moisture retention in hanging baskets and looks nice as well - the individual pieces are small enough to use it for even very small containers. When moist, it also helps to deter cats from digging in beds...

Another advantage of Strulch

As confirmed Strulch users, we are wondering if you are not understating the positive qualities of your product.

Yes, the mulching benefits are certainly there, but we think we may have discovered another gain. My wife has always enjoyed working with Strulch because of its enjoyable fragrance. But we have noticed something. Squirrels detect buried bulbs using their keen sense of smell. Since we have been using Strulch, we have not lost a single bulb to the aggressive squirrels in our neighbourhood. Our hypothesis is that the positive fragrance of the Strulch disguises the buried bulbs so that the gray rodents cannot locate them.

So we are wondering if other users have mentioned this...and if any research has been done to confirm the finding. We have never seen any mention of this in your advertising. If no research has been done, it might be worth a trial to establish what could be a great benefit to many gardeners.

Many thanks for a great product.

Hi A few pictures of Strulch in use at Floors Castle Gardens. Pics here show our nuresry area and apple tree line in the Millennium garden. Once Strulch is applied we can be fairly confident that it will stay weed free. Yours Andrew Simmons Head Gardener

Happy gardeners in Tarvin, Cheshire

Strulch going down a storm in Cheshire! Good afternoon to both of you. Last Sunday, I ordered our THIRD pallet of 48 bags this year for Tarvin Gardening Society! All have been delivered very rapidly (indeed, more rapidly than you suggested might be the case) and I have to say that you are being very well-served by Palletline - all were delivered without problems and their drivers have been exceedingly helpful. Offering the bags to our Gardening Society members (at the price that we buy them from you) has resulted in them disappearing very rapidly - of the 48 delivered last Thursday afternoon, I have just 5 bags to be collected today and the last 2 to be picked up tomorrow! Strulch is really easy to sell - and it really is a wonderful product in the garden! People who bought a bag from the first load have been coming back for 6 or 8 from subsequent deliveries! Thank you most sincerely, from the happy gardeners of Tarvin, Cheshire! You have a great product and you're doing a grand job! Best wishes, Charles Bradley.

Doesn't blow away. Great product.

I live in a very exposed position by the sea. Having tried bark chipping which blow off in high wind I tried Strulch and it stays very well. I have place an order for a further batch to top up the Strulch after 2 years . Great product which saves me loads of tedious weeding

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.

Hedgehog highway

Hello Jackie, Thank you for your email, Yes I do have a hedgehog highway in and out of my garden with 3 nesting boxes and 4 feeding stations, which have been in use since Nov 2019 and are still in use, I usually order a whole or half pallet of Strulch, but this year it will be later in the autumn / winter when I get organised to order it.

It works so well and looks great

I've been using Strulch for two years now and it has made such a difference to our garden. Applying a good thick layer makes such a difference and keeps the weeds away. The few weeds that may appear are then so easy to spot and remove. It also looks great on the borders, especially when first applied. After two years the Strulch gradually becomes part of the soil structure and it has really enhanced the ground into which we put new plants. We're now ready to top it up again to keep any new weeds under control.

Easy to use

Our rear garden is slightly bigger than a tennis court with 8 or so beds filled with a mixture of shrubs and perennials. We bought 25 large bags of Strulch last year and covered every bed. It was so easy to use and is still going strong over a year later. A big big plus for us was that the dogs could walk all over it and didn't come in with muddy paws,as they would have done if we had used compost. I've just ordered another 12 bags for the front. I am a total fan!!

Better than other mulches

We have used Strulch in all areas of our garden for a number of years and find it much better than any other type of mulch. We live in Northern Ireland where we get a lot of rain and found that moss grew on bark mulch. We don't have any such problem with Strulch. It is light to use but doesn't blow away. We use it round flowers , fruit and vegetables and even in pots. It cuts down on a lot of weeding. We would highly recommend it. R.McF.

Great for improving seriously chalky soil

We live on the edge of the Salisbury Plain and gardening on chalk is challenging. But using Strulch over the years has improved the soil a lot so it's much easier to work now. We open Beggars Knoll Chinese Garden for the NGS and are really looking forward to seeing visitors again this year!

Brilliant stuff and not expensive

I went on a course at David Austin and they told us about Strulch. I thought I would give it a go, and I must say that in a gardening sense this is a lifesaving product! It is light weight, easy to use and the minute it went on my garden the plants seemed to respond. So many people have commented on how good the garden looks. I used to have to take a whole week off work in the spring just to get on top of the weeds but this product appears to have all but solved that. It is brilliant stuff and not expensive. I recommended it to a colleague and we are both Strulch converts. :)

Discourages slugs and snails

This picture shows a new bed created in May after thick undergrowth consisting of blackthorn and scrub had been removed , covered in Strulch and planted out with semi exotic perennials and annuals. This is the view three months later. We’re really pleased with the results we get with Strulch as it discourages slugs and snails and really helps to keep weeds at bay. But best of all the plants throughout the garden are in such good condition as they’re being fed as well. We’re telling all our gardening friends to use it. Now please can your husband invent a product that will stop moles from ruining the lawn!

Easy to distribute and great coverage

We have been using Strulch on our Stockport planting borders for the past 2 years and we love it. Easy to distribute and great coverage. Lay it down let it get wet and it will mat together. Brilliant natural thoroughly weed suppressing and repellant to slugs and snails we now get far fewer. No more nighttimes with the salt pot. Looks great too. Birds like it presumably for nesting. Think its insect friendly. Love it.

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.
