Valerie starts with ... I have been trying to source square sugar cane bales here on the Sunshine Coast. They used to be cheap around $3.50 delivered. So far I have only found 2 stockists and the best price is $13.50 plus delivery. As I want about 40 this is too dear. Does anyone on the Sunshine Coast know where I can source square bales at a much cheaper price. | About the Author Valerie Mapleton 23rd December 2008 11:01am #UserID: 1785 Posts: 4 View All Valerie's Edible Fruit Trees |

Valerie says... Bazza/Mike I too can get the finely chopped bales wrapped in plastic from Bunnings quite cheaply however I want to use them as Jeremy did in the show. I want to use them as a surround over which I can put shade cloth while the seedlings are young and which will also feed the ground as they break down whilst still maintaining their shape. Haven't been able to manage that with the Bunnings mulch. | About the Author Valerie Mapleton 21st January 2009 6:41pm #UserID: 1785 Posts: 4 View All Valerie's Edible Fruit Trees |

SlickMick says... Just managed to have a look at that episode Valerie. It is indeed interesting how Jerry uses the bales and I think that what he is doing with the bales is great and certainly worth having a go at it. The issue could be the cost of so many bales. I agree the plastic bagged bales from Bunnings just would not work. I am surprised that you would not be able to get the tied bales around Mapleton or on the coast. I have been buying mine from Tingalpa Landscape Supplies in Brisbane. Cheers Mike | About the Author Slicko 18th February 2009 8:27pm #UserID: 1775 Posts: 227 View All Slicko's Edible Fruit Trees |

Janine says... Valerie, you can buy square cane mulch bales from a farm on Nambour-Bli Bli road (on the right hand side, before you get to Bli Bli - he has a sign up). There is also a place on the left of Nambour Bli-Bli Road, just before the Camp Flat Road turnoff, that sometimes sells the stuff. And there is another bloke on the corner of Thomas Road and Yandina-Bli Bli Road (a high set brick house) that sells the bales. Used to be $3.50 a bale but I think it's now up to about $4.50. We find it better value to buy direct from the farmer than from Bunnings or any of the landscape supply businesses. By the way, can anyone point me in the direction of someone who will supply a round bale of mulch (cane or grass) to Pomona/Cooran for a resonable price? | About the Author Janine1 Bli Bli 17th June 2009 4:39pm #UserID: 2469 Posts: 1 View All Janine1's Edible Fruit Trees |

JUJUBE FOR SALE IN MELBOURNE says... Hi Kathy, I contacted you this morning regarding to the sugar cane mulch. I am interested of up to 30 bales (dependng to the size of the bale) for my garden. With the rain we have had lately, it should be good to retain soil moisture before summer comes. If there are enough people in Melbourne want this mulch then you could deliver to Victoria too. BTW, my email is jujubeforsale@yahoo.com.au Many thanks. | About the Author JUJUBE FOR SALE Melbourne 15th July 2010 11:21am #UserID: 2706 Posts: 715 View All JUJUBE FOR SALE's Edible Fruit Trees |

Rev says... sugar cane mulch is great its not rich in nutrients - so it should be cheap! but if you want non woody biomass thats got a low weed load then this is the stuff dont dig it in surface mulch only great deep bedding for the chook run, theyll compost it down for you Bunnings is a rip off avoid them at all costs I would get local round bales of rhodes in 2007, for $25 prob more now but ask around cut out that middle man, its good for everyone, esp the rural economy | About the Author Rev North Qld 16th July 2010 8:47pm #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Rev says... Its cost a lot to transport it to Victoria! too bad they arent growing switchgrass or Miscanthus down there on waterlogged / bottom land soils, or irrigated with effluent or excess groundwater i saw some trials up in nth qld using Rhodes grass to strip nutrients from effluent and it was very effective -a lot better use of it than killing coral reef and seagrasses! i suppose its only a matter of time before they biofuel thing picks up just as good if they used if for mulch in horticulture though particularly the hybrid and sterile miscanthus as it wont bring a weedload http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscanthus_giganteus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panicum_virgatum | About the Author Rev 27th July 2010 5:43pm #UserID: 1806 Posts: 359 View All Rev 's Edible Fruit Trees |

MV says... I've just spent a good deal of time spreading 9 bales of sugar cane mulch three inches thick over newspapers 6 sheets deep at a property on the Central Coast. This is an on going job and so far I've been spending around $17 a bale, so if anyone can please advise of a cheaper supplier either on the Central Coast or on the lower North Shore, where I work, I'd appreciate it. That amount only covered less than a third of the area I need covered and I want to top up to keep the weeds at bay and encourage the production of soil as we have no top soil to speak of and are working on very heavy clay base. By the way, I've been buying from Bunnings and prefered the coarser sugar cane mulch Aussie Gold but they don't have that anymore and the finer stuff is a little too fly away for my liking.

Jaime says... Hello, did anyone have any luck finding a provider of the large round bales of sugar cane mulch? We are in Gympie. We need about 12 large round bales so I would imagine we would need over 1000 of the small square bales, the extra cost is huge and I also could not stand so much packaging as in the wrapped ones available at Bunnings. Can anyone please tell me where I can get some of the large round bales from in Gympie, preferably delivered? Thanks in advance. | About the Author Jaime1 Gympie 27th March 2011 9:25pm #UserID: 5107 Posts: 1 View All Jaime1's Edible Fruit Trees |

MV says... I had my small bales delivered by the following people who were very, very helpful. Don't think they do large bales, but no harm in asking. I wanted the Aussie Gold because it was coarse, rather than fine cut. Cost was around $14.00 per bale (no delivery charge) which was about $3 cheaper than Bunnings could offer for the fine cut stuff.

Mike says... It is expensive,hard to get and often sourced from SEQ in this district and even bagasse is very expensive.Rhodes grass is my preference in bales here and plants seem to respond well but mould can form easily on cane mulch and some grass mulches.Mulched pruned trees from council and private loppers goes for $90- for a 6m3 load here and that is very popular. It would be a great sideline for enterprising growers with Yasi damaged cane, getting into the mulch business. | About the Author Cairns 25th June 2011 8:48am #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

I buy the best racehorse quality bales, so I know it is ALL fresh top quality Lucerne. Anything less, or cheaper, may not be all Lucerne, especially the garden quality bales, can be 90% weeds and only a couple of $$ cheaper. | About the Author JohnMc1 6th August 2013 8:12pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... Yes, Lucerne isn't real cheap here either at the moment, $19.50/bale. I hand mow my hectare lot just to catch the grass clippings which supplements the Lucerne in a way. I'm big on mulching. Had a mowing guy regularly drop off his clippings but hasn't showed for a while, should put a wanted add on Gumtree. | About the Author JohnMc1 7th August 2013 8:01pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |
