Organic Compost

Organic Compost is designed to improve the overall quality of your soil. It does this in a number of ways:

• Improves moisture retention, especially during the summer

• Adds vital nutrients to the soil, creating a healthy growing environment

• Improves and stabilizes pH

• Improves drainage and reduces erosion and runoff

• Safe for use on all plants as a soil conditioner

Compost is great at rectifying soil, removing pollutants and stabilizing the growing environment after planting. Due to its organic properties, you can feel safe knowing that there is nothing harmful in this product.

Best Uses:

• Mix compost through your soil in Spring or Autumn to boost the nutrients and condition your area before planting. Evenly spread 3-6cm of organic compost over the surface and till it into the top 15cm of soil.
• Compost can be added to new garden beds or areas in your lawn that are too heavy in clay or sand.
• Mulch: To use compost as a mulch, spread 3-6cm of compost across your garden in spring or fall. Once in place, compost mulch will inhibit weeds and shield your soil, slowing evaporation rates and conserving soil moisture levels while minimizing erosion.
• Boost Lawns: Spreading 3-6cm of compost across bare soil before planting grass will help your new lawn take root faster. Ideally, this thin layer of compost should be mixed into the top few inches of topsoil but you can seed directly over the layer of compost too.
  For established lawns, spread a 1cm layer of finely sifted compost over your grass to provide nutrients and reduce your need for fertilizer. Because compost helps soil hold on to water, adding compost to lawns may also lower your watering needs.
