Potting Mix
Potting mix is an essential component when it comes to having a thriving garden.The right potting mix should be able to provide enough nutrients and drainage to plants, enabling them to grow strong roots and healthy foliage. The peat moss in potting mix helps retain moisture in the soil, while coco coir and vermiculite promptly distribute it evenly. Compost adds a natural source of nutrients required by plants, providing them with a kick-start for their growth.
Potting mix also provides a disease-free potting environment, which is excellent for seedlings. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to choose a high-quality potting mix, which can create a healthy foundation for a successful garden.
Organic Fertiliser (Natural & Pellets)
Organic fertilizer is plant food made from natural, renewable sources like animal or plant waste, or compost. It enriches soil health and promotes slow-release plant growth through nutrients.
We offer natural compost and pellet-based options that suit plant nourishment needs differently. Natural compost provides all-natural enrichment while the pellet-based version provides long-lasting nutrient-release.
Grassmaster
The highest organics analysis in any grass fertiliser combined with a high NPK. The ONLY organic complete grass fertiliser with 4% Calcium for soil balance and plant health. Calcium helps alleviate the acidifying effects of soluble fertiliser nutrients. Healthy turf requires good trace element levels BUT don’t pay for extra iron if you don’t need it! Most soils are rich in iron however it is often unavailable to plants especially if complexed with soluble P. The high percentage organics in
Grassmaster®, includes humic acid, a natural material that helps release iron and phosphorus from the soil for easier plant uptake.
Poultry Manure
Poultry manure is the waste produced by chickens and other domesticated birds raised for meat or egg production. It is an excellent source of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and also contains valuable organic matter.
When added to garden soil, poultry manure helps to enrich it, promoting healthy plant growth and increasing soil fertility. It is particularly useful for vegetables and fruit trees, and can be used as an all-purpose fertilizer for ornamental plants too.
Cow Manure
Cow manure is a type of organic fertilizer that is made from the waste of cows. It is a rich source of essential nutrients that are necessary for the growth and development of plants. Cow manure contains a high concentration of nitrogen, which is important for plant growth, and can also help to improve soil structure. Its use in the garden can help to improve soil fertility, enhance plant growth, increase crop yields, and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers.
When used correctly, cow manure can be a valuable tool for gardeners looking to cultivate healthy and robust plants, while also promoting sustainability and environmental health.
Mushroom Compost
Mushroom compost is a type of organic material that is produced from the waste products of mushroom farming. It is a nutrient-rich soil amendment that is widely used in gardening and farming to enrich soil and promote plant growth. Mushroom compost contains a blend of straw, hay, chicken manure, cocoa shells, peat moss and gypsum, which when broken down create a fertile soil conditioner.
The high nutrient content in mushroom compost helps to promote healthy soil structure and plant growth. The compost also improves soil structure, and helps to retain moisture. It is generally used to improve soil fertility for vegetables, fruits, and flowers and can also be used as a mulch. Its use reduces the need to add commercial fertilizers to the soil, making it an important part of sustainable gardening practices.
Blood & Bone
Blood and bone fertilizer is a type of organic fertilizer made from animal byproducts, specifically dried blood and bone meal. As an organic fertilizer, it is free from synthetic chemicals and pesticides. Blood is rich in nitrogen, while bones are high in phosphorous and calcium. When added to the soil, the nutrients in blood and bone fertilizer help increase soil fertility, promote healthy plant growth, and improve the overall health of the soil.
It also helps to improve soil structure and texture, making it easier for water and nutrients to move through the soil. Blood and bone fertilizer is an excellent choice for gardeners who want to improve the quality of their soil and grow healthy, productive plants without using synthetic fertilizers or chemicals.
Lime
Garden lime, also known as agricultural lime, is a soil amendment made from limestone that is used to improve the pH level of acidic soils. It contains a high concentration of calcium carbonate, which helps to raise the soil’s pH level and lower its acidity. Garden lime also contains essential nutrients that are beneficial to plant growth, such as magnesium and calcium.
It can also improve soil structure by promoting the aggregation of soil particles, improving its ability to hold water and nutrients. By improving soil fertility, garden lime can help plants grow faster and healthier, leading to better yields and increased plant vitality. It is important to note, however, that garden lime should be used carefully, as too much can cause soil alkalinity and harm plant growth.
