Organic Potting
Mix

Our Organic Potting Mix lets you grow potted plants the all-natural way AND get amazing results. In fact, it works so well there's a chance you'll get totally carried away planting and run out of pots.

If this happens, don't be scared to think outside the pot - any "container" will do. Start off slow with an old boot or a watering can, and then let your creativity take over. Hmmm, I bet no one would miss that bathtub...

INGREDIENTS

We start with our Living Earth Organic Compost - the magic, nutrient-rich ingredient in all our mixes. Then we sprinkle in some Bark Fines to give it a bit of body. Pumice (aiding drainage) is added next. And last, but not least we throw in some Organic Fertilisers for all-natural growing performance.

TESTING PROCESS

Before we bag it up and send it to your favourite garden store, we make sure our Organic Potting Mix is top-notch by testing it for:

  • Nutrients
  • Seed Germination
  • Weed Free
  • 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.
