  • HANDLING & APPLICATION

    Apply directly on top of existing soil or into raised garden beds. Directly plant into Garden Mix. Ideal planting mix for shrubs, flowers, veggies etc. Essential for healthy plant growth. When handling larger volumes of Garden Mix ensure stockpiles are covered to give protection against weather conditions and windblown weed seeds. Do not drive over stockpiles as this will compact the mix. Suitable for blowing. Apply 150-300mm over existing soil or fill raised planter beds. Lightly compact by hand. Mulch top with Living Earth’s Black Mulch or More than Mulch to finish.

  • HEALTH WARNING

    Ordinary garden soil and products like compost and mixes may contain a variety of living micro-organisms, some of which, on rare occasion can cause illness in humans. Serious infection is rare. However, for older people or those with reduced immunity, infection can be life threatening. We recommend the following precautions: avoid opening bags in enclosed areas; avoid inhaling the mix; always wear gloves and wash hands after use. See your doctor if you develop high fever, chill, breathlessness or cough.

  • RECYCLED PRODUCT DECLARATION

    Living Earth products are made with a compost base produced from Auckland’s greenwaste. This is great for the planet but the reality of greenwaste recycling means that small inorganic items can sometimes remain after the composting and screening process. You can be confident Living Earth meets the NZS 4454 (and BioGro) standards and all products go through a pasteurisation process which mean they’re safe with lots of long-term benefits for your soil. Your plants will thrive and your veggies will taste delicious. Please just be mindful of what goes in with your greenwaste when it is time for harvesting and pruning all that growth.
