Black Mulch in the Media
Published in the Nelson: 05/09/2017
All Black, All Bold, All Beautiful
“Wow, just wow”, are the reactions Ben Homan’s friends and family have had upon seeing his newly, made over landscape – complete with the prototype for Black Forrest®.
Working for innovative landscaping supply manufacturers, Wholesale Landscapes, Ben was involved in the development of the newly launched, environmentally friendly coloured mulch. Specifically, Ben laid the jet-black ground covering around his home and garden.
“We had friends over for lunch, and they were blown away with the contrast. It makes the colour in the garden pop, and it’s like night and day next to the decking and house. It just looks so clean and modern.”
Ben’s friends had to wait however, as Black Forrest® was still in development. Sourcing water-based, and toxin-free colouring that is computer monitored for colour intensity, which is also independently lab tested as safe for plants, pets and people – Black Forrest® was about a year in the making. And it proves the adage that good things take time.
Black Forrest has the sophisticated visual appeal of a modern ground covering with the garden health benefits of a mulch. Not only does it form clean, high-contrast lines and make colour pop, but it will supresses weeds, retains moisture and improves soil structure and plant health. This means, while it is looking great, it is helping to feed your garden organic matter.
“It looks great, and it helps your garden thrive”, says Ben. “And we can deliver it to your door, or you can come and pick it up in a courtesy trailer at our retail yard, down the long drive at 55 Saxton road in Stoke.”
Wholesale Landscapes is a local Nelson business that was founded almost 40 years ago, since then, innovative products like Black Forrest® have seen them become the South Island’s largest manufacturer of landscaping products.
Forest Floor® mulch is one of their most popular products, while its more than likely your children, or your neighbours children, grew up playing on their playground bark. Certified for safety as an impact protection, Bounce Bark® is the environmentally friendly certified impact protection.
“We look forward to seeing you soon for all your landscaping needs,” says Ben.
