Cert No 2863
Living Earth’s Podium Mix has been specially developed for use in rooftop planting applications providing a free draining media that provides plants with nutrients.
The blend of organic compost, quality sand and light weight aggregates are designed to absorb water readily whilst allowing for a controlled release of that water. This reduces the possibility of significant water run off during natural rain events while avoiding ponding on the surface of the podium mix installation

Living Earth Compost is made from only the best ingredients - clean, green organic material. It is brewed to perfection, then thoroughly tested so we know it is good.
We sell our 40L bags and landscape yard products in selected stockists, see here for more details. We also deliver bulk bags of our products in selected Auckland regions. Simply head to one of our bulk bag product pages to see if we deliver in your area.
Thanks to the activity of all the worker bugs breaking down the material in the composting process, the temperature quickly reaches above 55 degrees. After three days at this heat all weed seeds are killed.
Yes, there is. Living Earth Compost conforms to NZ standard 4454:2005, a standard that provides assurance that all composted matter is safe to use for the home gardener. The standard sets a quality level that Living Earth exceeds in the compost it produces.
We test every batch of compost at our on-site lab and with growth trials to ensure quality standards are met with the plants growing healthily. Other independent lab tests are performed to check levels of nutrients and to ensure the compost meets NZ standards.
Made from Auckland’s garden waste, helping our city towards its zero waste goal.
