The blanketing effect of mulch suppresses weed growth as the pest plants can’t push through the mulch layer and weed seeds can’t get through to the soil to germinate. Mulches also reduce the wide fluctuations of soil temperatures, decreasing stress on plant roots.

Made from dried sugar cane leaves and tops, sugar cane mulch is easy to handle, readily available and less expensive than most mulches. It breaks down quickly, enriches soil and is best suited for regularly maintained areas such as flowerpots or vegetable gardens.

Noosaville Stockfeed & Pet Supplies has the products to have your plants growing healthily and free from pests. 

Talk to one of our team about the benefits of organic and inorganic, liquid or pelletised fertilisers. We have the experience to discuss compost and manure versus blood and bone, or slow-release as opposed to control-release fertilisers and soil conditioners.

To ensure your plants’ healthy growth, you don’t want them to have competition. Herbicides which control unwanted plants are rightly known as weed killers. We can discuss the pros and cons of the different classifications with you but those to be particularly aware of are selective and non-selective. The former controls specific species of weeds, leaving crops and flowers unharmed. Non-selectives will kill all plants they come in contact with.

Pesticides, or insecticides, kill a wide range of pests through the use of a toxic substance. We can advise on which liquid, dust, powder, granule or aerosol is best to combat ants and aphids, caterpillars and curl grubs, or slugs and snails.

Talk to our team members about your fencing requirements. Two popular products for fencing that lasts are star pickets and hinged joints.

Whether holding livestock in or unwanted guests out, star picket fencing is long-lasting, functional and aesthetically pleasing for a decorative border. The pickets are quick and easy to install, have holes pre-drilled for attaching wire, and are fireproof.

Featuring flexible “knots” which absorb stock impact, mesh with hinged joints is ideal for stock, boundary and internal fencing. The tightly wrapped joint moves to absorb impacts and springs back to shape again.
