Organic & Clean Sugar Cane Mulch
When it comes to mulches, Rocky Point’s sugar cane mulch stands out for being 100% organic, clean, and nutrient-rich because it’s made from finely chopped sugar cane leaves and undergoes a dust-extraction process, it’s much less messy than many coarse mulches or wood chips.
Some of its key benefits include:
- Moisture retention: it helps the soil retain up to 75 % more moisture, reducing how often you need to water.
- Weed suppression: it forms a protective blanket over the soil, inhibiting weed growth.
- Soil health & nutrition: as it decomposes, it adds organic matter and nutrients back into the soil, helping feed plants and encouraging earthworm activity.
- Temperature regulation: it buffers soil from temperature extremes — helping keep roots cooler in heat and warmer in cooler periods.
- Certified organic & safe: Rocky Point’s mulch is certified under Australian standards, and is free from contaminants, making it ideal for veggie patches, ornamentals, and pot plants.
Some tips to get the most out of your sugar cane mulch:
For new garden beds: lay a layer of 40–100 mm depth.
For areas you’re re-mulching: a thinner layer of 20–40 mm is sufficient.
Don’t let the mulch touch plant stems directly — leave a small gap around trunks or stems to prevent rot or pest issues.
Since the mulch is packaged dry, water it thoroughly after applying to help it settle and bond, and to activate its moisture retention.
Over time the mulch will break down. Add more as needed to maintain an effective cover, especially after heavy rains or wind.
Rocky Point Sugar Cane Mulch is a versatile, garden-friendly product that does more than just “look good.” It actively supports plant health, conserves water, suppresses weeds, and gradually enriches your soil.
