Healthy soil for all seasons

Healthy soil for all seasons

The UK weather throws all sorts of curve balls at us, hot summer days can turn chilly and windy overnight, weeks without rain, heavy rain and flooding,...the list goes on and on!

 

Creating healthy soil conditions will go a long way in supporting plants through all of the seasons and the weather that comes with them. Our products are designed to provide optimum soil health to protect against drought and provide plants with the nutrients they need to get strong, which is vital so that they can withstand both cold and hot weather.

 

Take our biochar granules, good quality biochar helps to improve soil structure, tilth, aeration, water holding capacity and nutrient retention in soils which leads to improved soil health and plant growth. Biochar is best used at the point of planting to maximise contact with the roots, sprinkle in a small amount into the planting hole of new plants or if you are moving plants are in the garden and leave it to do its good work.

 

If your soil is in need of immediate improvement our SF60 Super Compost which contains colloidal humus and biochar, this the combination of these two ingredients acts as a sponge for water and essential nutrients which contribute to improved plant health and resilience against extreme weather conditions such as drought and frost, the biochar acts as a host to a series of microbes which transfer nutrients from the ‘sponge’ the nutrients right down to the plants’ roots - Use it as a top dressing or fork it into the soil where you can.

 

To make your own SF60 compost use our Humification Agent which will help your garden waste to produce more colloidal humus thanks to the biochar and micronised powders that we use in this formula. To find out more about how this works click here.
