Seasonal Tips for Feb & Mar - Soil Matters

If you are planning a new border, rejuvenating an existing border or just planting a few new plants, the condition of the soil is vital. If it is healthy and rich in nutrients the results will be tremendous.

 

  • If your garden soil is poor or depleted from active plant growth then improve it using one of the specially formulated soil improvers from Westland. For example Premium Garden Soil is a carefully selected rich clay loam soil with a high content of organic matter, vital for healthy soil and added fertiliser so it’s great for new beds and borders and replacing existing soil. It’s ideal for planting specimen garden plants such as Topiary sculptures. organic Farmyard Manure is ideal for conditioning the soil and adds vital nutrients and water holding organic matter to garden areas where heavy feeders deplete soil nutrients quickly such as the vegetable plot or rose beds.
  • Organic gardeners can choose organic Vegetable Growing Compost to improve the soil and add vital structure and organic matter to support healthy plant growth.
  • For general soil improvement, or to replace depleted topsoil, use the specially selected and sterilised Top Soil that is graded to ensure the very best results in the garden.
