What are bark chippings? 

Bark is the hard, outer layer of a tree’s trunk and is often considered a waste material - but not at Fertile Fibre.

When it comes to gardening, premium garden bark chippings have a multitude of uses and are a core component in all of our peat-free organic composts.

Broken down into smaller pieces and flakes, our wood bark chippings can be used as an effective mulch layer in pots and beds, or added to compost blends. 

Why use FertileFibre garden bark? 

From our premium coir products to bark mulch, we’re all about finding ways to garden sustainably without harming the planet. 

Approved by the Soil Association, our wood bark chippings come from managed woodlands and certified FSC mixed sources, making them a reliable option for eco-conscious gardeners.

There are numerous other benefits to using our garden bark, including:

• Stabilising soil: bark chippings can improve the structure of your soil, giving it a healthy balance of organic matter, as well as helping to provide more air-filled porosity for effective drainage
• Retaining water: bark mulch helps soil to retain moisture below the surface. This reduces the risk of plant dehydration and means plants will need less watering, saving you time and money
• Controlling weeds: a decent layer of garden bark mulch is a highly effective way to manage weeds, suppressing them beneath the surface
• Deterring pests: bark chippings can help to deter some insects and fungal diseases, providing a healthier growing medium for plants
• Regulating soil temperature: when used as a mulch, bark chippings provide a thermalising top layer that helps to regulate soil in the face of extreme temperatures
• 100% organic: made purely from pine and conifer tree matter, you won’t find anything other than natural bark chippings in our products
