Use as a supplement to any soil (rather than in place of soil – a common mistake) to provide a natural balance of nutrients and minerals for healthy plant growth.

The naturally generated heat from the production process destroys weed seeds, soil-borne plant pathogens and disease.

COMPOST IS A SOIL ENHANCER, NOT A SOIL IN ITSELF. PLEASE FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES BELOW FOR APPLICATION OF USE:

When using as a mulch, spread a layer 3 – 4 cm deep over the garden beds and around shrubs.
When preparing beds prior to planting, spread 4 – 5 cm layer of our compost and work in well. It is so much easier to add compost now than once the garden is planted.
When planting shrubs, dig a hole larger than required and place a good layer of our compost on the bottom, then mix equal parts compost and soil together, work around the root ball of the shrub and firm in. Water well.
