Its finer, darker texture is intentionally different from decorative Bark Mulch.

Landscape FAQs
What is the difference between Composted Bark and Bark Mulch?
Composted Bark is a finer, darker material designed to improve soil or work as a surface mulch. It gradually becomes incorporated into the soil.
Bark Mulch contains larger decorative bark pieces and is intended primarily to create an attractive, protective surface finish.
Should I choose Top Soil or compost?
Use Top Soil for filling, levelling, building up beds, repairing lawns and preparing ground.
Use All Purpose Compost when planting into pots, containers or other growing media.
What is the difference between Composted Bark and Farmyard Manure?
Both add organic matter to existing soil. Composted Bark is a bark-based soil improver that can also be used as a surface mulch. Farmyard Manure is a richer soil improver intended to replenish soil fertility and support productive growing.
