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

A Garden in The Clacton Coastal Strip
I have a garden that is large and over ambitious for the amount of labour available. I find that Strulch saves a lot of weeding and keeps moisture in the soil. I live in the driest part of Britain on the Clacton Coastal Strip.. Sally Hepher

Breakthrough in weed control
At long last I have an effective measure against unwanted weeds. Strulch saves huge amounts of weeding allowing more time for productive gardening. It is easy to apply, smells nice and looks good.

Easy to lift and manage
As a gardener of many years I became aware of Strulch some 5 years ago when we had started our new garden. We have a large garden - over an acre - and open under the National Garden Scheme. It really helps me to keep control of a very weedy garden and maintain it to the standard required for opening. We garden on clay and until recently I had not noticed that my delphiniums always came through without slug damage. This must have been down to the Strulch over the years. I hope that the new formula makes it even more effective with the Hostas. The neat appearance of the garden when mulched always causes comment when we have visitors and we are constantly asked for information about it. To begin with I was a little apprehensive about the size of the bags but I find they are quite easy to lift and manage and the large white bags are really useful when recycled in the garden.

Tulips and Strulch
Once our tulips are planted we put a heavy layer of strulch over them. It not only makes the beds looked great but seems to discourage squirrels from digging them up.

Just ordered some more
I didn't expect my garden helper to spread it over the whole garden! Still, I can always scrape some away when I need to plant something! I've orderd some more

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!

Squirrel repellent qualities of Strulch!
I am new to using Strulch but have seen that it is an excellent mulch, and appears to suppress slugs, snails and weeds with wonderful ease.

I am also delighted to note that it appears to have stopped the local and very aggressive squirrels from digging up both recently-planted shrubs and multiple bulbs! This is unheard of and an unexpected bonus but I am very grateful.

Maybe you should research this additional benefit and include it within your marketing and advertising material.

It’s Brilliant!
It's brilliant! The place where I haven't used Strulch weeds have come through and the tilth is not nearly as good. Strulch makes all the difference. Mary Ann Sutherland ( Norfolk)

Excellent service and product
The delivery arrangement was perfect (and the driver was very considerate).

I’ve now used all 48 bags in my garden and will start saving to buy more, as I could easily use another 48!

The benefits to the soil, environment and my back (saving on weeding!) are priceless. So thank you.

Strulch in a changing climate
Strulch is easy and pleasant to handle, stays in-situ even though we have a fairly exposed garden, looks attractive and is an effective weed suppressant. However, the key benefits are improved soil structure, a very healthy microbiome (with an increase in earthworms and other beneficial invertebrates) and improved resilience to changing rainfall patterns.

Here in Devon, we seem to be experiencing more intense winter rainfall whilst summers are marked by prolonged periods with little or no rainfall. The strulch acts as a very effective buffer, stopping the heavy winter rain compacting the soil surface and also moderating the percolation of water through the soil, preventing leaching of nutrients.

During periods of low rainfall, the strulch significantly reduces surface evaporation and allows what moisture is in the soil to remain accessible to plant roots.

Cuts down on weeding
After reading about Strulch in a gardening magazine we bought what seemed a mountain of bags, which sat on our front drive slowly diminishing in height whilst I spread the Strulch over our garden. (Do not attempt on windy days!) To say that it cuts down on weeding is an under statement and has the added advantage of putting off the dreaded slugs. Can you not find something that gets rid of greenflies too please?! It has been a godsend as I have a trapped sciatic nerve so anything that helps me in the garden I cannot recommend too highly. It is easy to use, blends in perfectly and does what it says on the box. I will definitely be ordering more.

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.

Well worth the money
I would thoroughly recommend using Strulch which I have been using for about 4 years. I weed the bed well prior to planting and water the plants in well. I then use a covering of about 4 inches of Strulch over the soil. It has saved me hours of weeding. Instead of having to spend a lot of time weeding, I only have to pull out an occasional one. Slugs and snails avoid the area and there is little need for watering. As well as using it on flower beds, it has been great around strawberries. It is well worth the money and friends and neighbours are starting to use it, too.

Organic garden
As a wildlife friendly organic gardener I could not recommend Strulch more highly. When we open our garden for the Cheshire Wildlife Trust and other charities or in the presentations I give on organic wildlife - supportive gardening Strulch is the product I recommend most. It even beats Comfrey and any organic gardener knows how great that is. If there was anything in my garden I could not do without it's Strulch! Forget the slug pellets, backbreaking weeding, winter plant loss through low temperatures and lack of insulation and put away the hose. Use Strulch!
