TESTING PROCESS

Before it hits the shelf, or gets added to one of our mixes, we make sure our Organic Compost is fully up to scratch by testing it for:

  • Nutrients
  • Weed free
  • Seed Germination
  • Plant Growth

We take great care to bring you our finest products. Our products are created from green waste, so you might sometimes find small pieces of non-organic material in them.

Shhhh. This product contains our secret ingredient: Living Earth Organic Compost. Packed with plant-nourishing nutrients.
weedFree
This product contains no weeds. None whatsoever. Nada. Zip. Zero. Zilch.

HANDLING PROCEDURE

When handling larger volumes of compost, ensure stockpiles are covered to give protection against weather conditions and wind blown weed seeds.

Do not plant directly into compost. It MUST be mixed with existing soil.

APPLICATION

Apply 50 mm of compost to your gardens and thoroughly dig through the soil to ensure even consistency.

Lightly compact by hand.
