Apart from this the waste byproducts in the wooden sawmills are also can be used for this. But if we look at theĀ bark that can be get from the trees directly rather than milling the wooden materials. Since the demand is increasing consistently these products are commercially available in the market. These bark can be used for many purposes and one among them is gardening.

These wooden pieces will be in the form of nuggets and flakes. These flakes and the pieces will be spread across the field to serve the purpose. It is more important that those barks need to be spread out limitedly and should not go beyond one or two inches hence that will be a favor to the plant growth. Most of the time the soil should be neutral for better growth of plants. But, sometimes the addition of flakes of bark will add acidity to the soil and will restrict the growth of the plant. This will arise when we the particular tree bark. Hence the selection of bark is much important and needs to picks the right one for the specific purpose.

There are professionals are existed for this and the one who wished to create the garden and maintain a garden may contact them to make that well designed by adding a flavor to that in the form of spark flakes and pieces.
