Strulch is manufactured in Britain, entirely from locally sourced quality wheat straw with added iron minerals. The patented process stabilises and colours the straw producing and easy-to-use garden mulch. For use on borders, raised beds, around cultivated fruit and on vegetable plots. Leave on beds for more than one year or work into the soil at the end of the season to improve soil structure and drainage. Please note that Strulch darkens with age when spread or in the bags to produce an earthy brown colour.
Wear gloves when handling. The packed product may contain traces of iron which will be absorbed by the straw after spreading. Keep away from sources of ignition when dry.
Strulch inhibits weed germination and growth by blocking out light. The mineralisation process inhibits the rate at which the straw breaks down and depending on the application rate and local conditions, can act as an efficient barrier to light for up to two years.
Strulch is biodegradable and will break down over time, adding valuable organic matter and nutrients to the soil. N – 0.6%, P2O5 – 0.2%, K2O – 1.6% percentage dry matter, plus calcium, magnesium and iron (0.75%) and organic acid preservative. Strulch encourages earthworm activity by acting as a long term food source for surface feeding species.
Strulch is made from renewable and local resources which do not harm the environment and Strulch is verified for use in organic growing systems.

Good News About Strulch and Chrysanthemums
Our Strulch garden mulch has been recommended in the November edition of The English Garden to use around chrysanthemums. The magazine, which is out in October 2017 in the UK, has a large article about growing chrysanthemums during the autumn and winter months. Strulch is mentioned on page 77.
Alongside plenty of Strulch garden mulch you also need to ensure your chrysanthemums are planted in a position where they can get a good amount of sunlight. They can be susceptible to mildew so they don’t want to be in a wet, compacted area. Strulch enriches the soil and its structure which is one of the reasons Judy recommends using it with your own chrysanthemums.
Many of our Strulch stockists also sell chrysanthemum’s so you can pick some up when you purchase your next bag of Strulch garden mulch. Alternately, you can order Strulch via our website
