When to use
FEATURES
- Gypsum improves soil texture, provides plants with the calcium they need to strengthen their structure and boost disease resistance
- Wetting agent assists moisture to soak into the soil and helps roots absorb nutrients
- Made from composted organic materials from renewable sources. Contains no animal by-products so has no odour
- Ideal for topdressing raised garden beds that have 'slumped' or working into topsoil to rejuvenate old soil before planting
SUITABLE FOR
- Vegetable gardens including raised beds, tubs and planter boxes to improve soil texture and encourage beneficial soil microbes
- Garden beds to reinvigorate poor quality soils
- All plants including phosphorus-sensitive natives
- Safe to use for new plants - the well-composted organics and controlled release of nutrients from the Scotts Osmocote® mean it will not burn soft leaves or tender young roots
NOT SUITABLE FOR
- Don't use in hydroponic growing systems, ponds or pots submerged in water
- Do not use on lawns - use only specifically named lawn topdress soils on grassed areas
HOW TO USE
- Prepare the area by removing any weeds or grass
- Construct a new garden bed by adding premium soil straight from the bag (no further additives required). Build up enough soil to suit the requirements of chosen plants
- Condition an existing garden bed by applying a 5cm layer on top of the poor soil and then blending the premium soil through. Use any leftover premium soil to topdress the garden bed - this promotes good drainage and root growth
WHEN TO USE
- Garden Soil Premium Planting Mix can be added to gardens at any time of the year and can be either incorporated into planting soil or as a topdress
- Topdress existing garden beds once or twice a year to replenish organic matter and nutrients
ONGOING PLANT CARE
- Garden Soil Premium Planting Mix contains a balanced fertiliser up to 4 months - additional fertiliser may be required in time, depending on plant needs
- Avoid allowing plants to dry out - plants should be watered immediately after potting and frequently enough to keep the planting mix moist (not wet)
- For best results, top up the soil every time you plant
