Have you found your perfect growing media for your garden? Even if you love a great all-purpose compost (like our great all-purpose Old Country Compost or one of our Professional Compost blends), you may still want to supplement your plants' nutrition with specific additions. Browse our range of compost additives to make a custom blend of compost, uniquely suited for your plants and gardens.
Perfect Your Compost With Our Compost Additives
If your plants fail to thrive or grow limp and undernourished, there may be an issue with your growing media.
Whether it's your soil's pH or a lack of nutrients, we'd recommend browsing through our range of testing equipment and kits to test your soil's pH, moisture and nutrient levels and check them against your plant's requirements.
Once you've identified your plants' needs, our Compost Additives are an ideal solution to bring additional nutrition and supplementation to your gardens, beds or terrace planters. The benefits of adding compost additives are wide-ranging, including:
- Speeding up decomposition: Organic matter is great for plants and adds nutrition to the soil. However, organic material that takes a long time to break down can hamper your plant's growth. Helping speed this process up will lead to healthier plants and a more balanced garden.
- Balancing Nutrients: Different plants thrive under different conditions, so using compost additives to balance the nutritional value of your media is a great way to customise your garden for your favourite plants.
- Improving Microbial Activity: Microbes are a sign of healthy soil and plant life, so by providing an environment in which they can thrive, you can promote healthy growth for your plants.
- Managing Soil pH: pH may be the single biggest factor in soil quality, so testing your soil and managing the pH could lead to huge improvements in plant growth.
- Improved Water Retention: Water retention can be tricky, especially in smaller spaces like balconies or terraces. If your plants are parched, consider browsing our additive range to add some additional water retention to your growing media.
