Application & Coverage
Wool Garden Mulch can be dusty. We suggest using if you are using larger quantities to wet it down before use in a large bucket or wheelbarrow.
We also suggest the use of gloves while handling the mulch and a dust mask if you are handling the Dags dry.
Once the Mulch is wet all dust issues are resolved.
Garden Mulch / Weed Suppressant:
Garden Mulch / Weed Suppressant:
- Spread the Dag Mulch or Crutchings Mulch to preferred depth. Apply liberally if you are wanting to create a weed barrier.
- Thoroughly wet down the mulch for a good 5 minutes - this settles the mulch down.
- Wet down the mulch again over the next 5 – 10 days if there has been no rain to do the job for you.
- The mulch will take a few weeks to settle completely. When it has you will have created an effective long lasting Wool Mulch mat.
- When re-applying (12 – 24 months) after the initial mulch mat has been created, you may find you may not need to apply the mulch as liberally.
- To create a stronger mulch/weed mat, place the Dag Bag, newspaper, or plain cardboard under the mulch – wet down well.
Planters & Pots
Planters & Pots
Mixing:
- Mix some Dag Mulch through the potting mix.
- Add plants to the pot/planter.
- Add the top layer of Crutchings Mulch if you want a cleaner look or the Dag Mulch if you are wanting a nutrient dense top layer.
- Wet down well
Layering:
- Create a layer of Crutchings Mulch in the bottom of the planter.
- Top with potting mix and press down firmly.
- Add a layer of Dags Mulch.
- Add the top layer of potting mix and gently press down.
- Add the plants to the pot/planter.
- Then add a layer of Crutchings Mulch to the top of planter.
- Thoroughly wet down the whole pot/planter.
- The Crutchings Mulch creates a water barrier at the top and bottom of the pot and the Dag Mulch creates nutrient rich, moisture dense layer in the middle.

Other Information:
- As the shredding process chops the Dags into small pieces, it creates a concentrated mulch. If mixing in with the soil or potting mix, sometimes, less is more, especially if you are going to top the soil with Dag Mulch as well.
- If applying Wool Mulch during the warmer months, continue with your usual watering routine. As due to the warmer temperatures the mulch exposed to the air will dry out and will need to be wetted to settle it down again.
- Rattle Ya Dags Wool Garden Mulch is a Natural Raw Product so you may notice some slight variation between bags.
Mulch is an organic material you use to cover the surface of your soil and around plants.
It helps to keep the moisture in, stop nutrients from washing away, maintains even soil temperature, and blocks out sunlight to suppress weed growth.

Depending on where and how thick the wool mulch is laid, it generally breaks down over a 12 – 24 month period.
You may find that in certain areas of your garden it may last even longer.

If applied liberally enough Wool Mulch is an effective weed suppressant. Tight in around plants and thin patches will generally show the weeds first.
Although having had to grow in the wool, the root structure is higher, and they are generally easy pulling.

As we dog owners know, our lovely fury friends do tend to like poo. We have found that generally, after the initial attraction, and the Dags start to decompose, the attraction disappears.
So if you have a concern about your dog and an attraction to poo, then we suggest you go for our Crutchings Mulch, as the ratio of Dags to Wool is a lot lower (Mainly Wool – Less Poo).
