Composted pine bark
Composted pine barks make up the bulk of our potting mixes. Our sizes include 0-5mm, 5-10mm and 15mm. Different blends of these grades enable us to produce a mixture to your desired density for optimal aeration and water holding capacity.
All of our composting takes place on purpose built concrete slabs, from where it is washed, composted, and covered. All of our composting procedures follow and exceed the relevant Australian Standards to ensure a high quality and consistent end product.
Coco peat
The coco peat or pith is the finer material removed from around the nut and is very similar in looks to Peat Moss. Coir pith is an ideal soil re-wetter, soil structure improver and soil substrate with excellent water holding capacity.
Coco chip
Coir Chip is a by-product of the coconut. The chip is made from the coconut husk and cut into various size nuggets.
Coir Chip is used for improved air filled porosity, wettability and water holding ability in potting media. It can also increase microorganism activity. We use high quality double washed coco products.
Compost
Our compost provides a rich microbial flora to our potting mixes while also providing trace elements and improving water holding capacity. We have two grades depending on what type of mixture is desired.
Zeolite
We uses high quality zeolite of two sizes in our potting mixes. Zeolite improves drainage, extend water-holding capacity, stores nutrients for slow release and increases soil fertility. It has very high cation exchange properties. This makes better use of added fertiliser, meaning less can be applied.
Olivine Basalt
Olivine basalt is a volcanic material that is used as a ballast while also providing the plants and micro-flora with trace minerals. It has good cation exchange properties and with a special 0-3mm size is beneficial in aeration and drainage.
Perlite
Perlite is a light weight mineral used for aeration and wettability in potting media.
When mixed with potting mix, it allows the water to freely move through to the plant root system where the roots can then draw the water they need without suffering from unintentional draining. Available in three sizes.
Additives
We have a wide range of additives available at your request including wetting agents, water crystals and fertilizers. We stock a wide range of slow release fertilizers. We are happy to use your preferred additives or mix in your own fertilizer before pick-up or delivery.
