Westland Soil Improver - 50L

For garden beds, a layer of 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) spread over the surface is typical before mixing. For containers, mix approximately 1 part Soil Improver to 3 parts soil or compost.

It can be applied in spring or autumn when preparing beds for planting, or as a top dressing around established plants. It's also beneficial when planting new trees, shrubs, or perennials.

While beneficial for soil structure, it's not typically recommended as a direct lawn dressing. It's best used for preparing new lawn areas or amending beds and borders.

The product is derived from natural materials (manure and bark) and contributes to organic matter in the soil, enhancing biological activity.

Improvements in soil structure and drainage can be observed immediately upon mixing. Enhanced plant growth and fertility typically become more apparent over the growing season.

Westland Soil Improver is a specifically formulated blend of manure and bark designed to address soil structure and fertility in a balanced way, whereas compost can vary widely in its composition and specific benefits.

Ensure the Soil Improver was mixed deeply enough into the existing soil (at least 15-20 cm). For very heavy clay, a second application in subsequent seasons might be beneficial.

Verify that the Soil Improver was evenly distributed and mixed well. Consider supplementing with a balanced plant fertilizer if specific nutrient deficiencies are observed, following product instructions.

The natural scent of manure may be noticeable initially but should dissipate as it integrates with the soil. Ensure good soil aeration, which also benefits plant health.

This is normal for composted materials. The improver will absorb moisture from the soil once mixed and watered in.
