Raingarden Mix
Our Rain Garden Mix has been developed for use in minimising stormwater run-off in urban areas of
Auckland and other regions. The blend, organic compost, quality sand and loam topsoil, is specially
designed to absorb water readily whilst allowing for a slower release of that water, reducing the
possibility of overflow onto footpaths and roads.
It's been used in many Auckland projects and Living Earth Raingarden Mix is on the Auckland Council
approved suppliers list
