Our organic composts and soil improvers provide nutrients and enhance soil structure improving drainage characteristics along with air and water holding capabilities.

Benefits of Compost

The benefits of using compost include:

  • Improving the soil structure and creating a better root environment for plants
  • Increasing moisture infiltration and moisture holding capacity in lighter soils
  • Providing a variety of nutrients (some in slow release forms) often reducing the need for fertilisers
  • Providing organic matter to improve soil structure
  • Supplying beneficial bacteria which assist nutrient uptake and help suppress soil borne diseases
  • Improving plant health, from germination, through growth and to maturity
  • Improving resistance to soil compaction and erosion
  • Improving the control of weeds when coarse particle grades are used as a mulch
