When handling larger volumes of compost, ensure stockpiles are covered to give protection against weather conditions and windblown weed seed. Apply a 50mm layer to the gardens and incorporate into the top layer of soil to improve friability of that soil and add valuable nutrients. Do not plant directly into compost. It MUST be mixed with existing soil. Composted soil retains moisture for longer, aiding plant establishment.
• Pure Organic compost
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.
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.
Organic Compost Mix is also available in a 1m3 Bulk Bag
