    Yes. I would use it to mulch the borders. It’ll be fine. 😊 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    I always use mine on borders after they're finished. All the compost from potted annuals gets used that way  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
