About the King

How it started

Every empire starts the same way. Somebody lets a tree fall. In Drayton, a few good gum trees came down, and rather than let them go to waste, the King turned them into something the whole neighbourhood could use.

No suits in a back room. No fancy factory. Just a chipper, a mulch fork, a ute and a stubborn streak.

The operation

Every bag is filled by hand, one bucket at a time. Three solid buckets to a bag, tied off tight and stacked on the pallet, ready for the ute.

The code

1. No bag leaves without being tied.
2. Fair prices. Same price for everybody, no funny business.
3. If it's on the ute, it's on its way.
4. The garden always comes first.
5. Loyalty is rewarded. Bigger orders, better deals.

Why gum tree mulch?

It breaks down slowly, keeps the weeds quiet and holds the moisture in through a Queensland summer. Your garden gets a good coat, your soil gets a decent feed, and you get to look like you know what you're doing.
