FAQs

Q: Is your soil improver peat free?

A: Our soil improver is made from food & green waste. We cannot guarantee that there are not small quantities of peat from the green waste, however, this is peat that has already been used and is therefore not adding to peat depletion, in fact by using our product you are recycling any traces of peat that may be present.

Q: Is your soil improver the same as compost?

A: Good question and the answer is no. Soil improver is not the same as a multipurpose compost. Think of our soil improver as ‘super charged’ concentrate compost that needs to be diluted. We recommend 1 part soil improver to 2 parts soil or other medium such as wood chip if you wish to plant immediately. Our product can also be used as a weed-suppressing mulch, following the ‘no dig’ method and after prolonged exposure to the elements, which gently releases nutrients, can be replenished, or simply incorporated to improve soil friability and structure, the natural composting effect and earthworms will eventually incorporate the soil improver overtime for you if you aren’t in a hurry.

Q: What is a garden soil improver?

A: Soil improver is an organic material substrate that improves the condition, fertility and structure of the soil. Soil improver should be mixed through the upper layer of the soil, in the root zone of the plants, so that plants grow better and are healthier. In this way, the soil structure is improved and the fertility of the soil increases. In addition, a soil improver is designed to increase the organic matter in the soil. Increasing the organic matter results in an optimal water balance; the water is retained better because the soil is lighter and more friable. An additional advantage is that the soil, therefore, needs to be watered less and there’s also less risk of pests and diseases. Soil improver is not suitable as potting soil as it is too strong in its neat form.

Q: When should I use soil improver?

A: As a standard Soil improver, use prior to planting in the normal manner suitable to what you are growing. As a weed suppressing mulch, our soil improver can be used year-round. As a soil improver for landscaping, again, our product can be used year-round.

Q: Can I plant straight into soil improver?

A: No. Think of our soil improver as ‘super charged’ concentrate compost that needs to be diluted, we recommend 1 part soil improver to 2 parts soil or other medium such as fine wood chip if you wish to plant into it immediately.

Q: How much soil improver is needed?

A: We recommend applying soil improver in a layer of the following thickness over the area you want to improve, depending on your soil type.

Heavy clay soil – 80-100mm thick
Chalky soil – 50-80mm thick
Light sandy soil – 20-50mm thick

The above layers should then be forked in, to a depth of approximately 200mm, in particular heavy soils you may wish to add a little more to improve the soil structure.

As a weed-suppressing mulch, our soil improver should be applied in a sunlight blocking 100mm thick layer.

Terms of Use

GUIDELINES FOR USE

Soil conditioning
Rejuvenate can be used to improve the soil when establishing grass/turf, planting beds and when planting trees and shrubs. It can also be combined with soil to improve the quality of backfill material in planting pits. This product should be well mixed with your soil to encourage the best growth.

Mulching
Rejuvenate can be applied to the soil surface to conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and help minimise erosion.

Turf top dressing and divot repair
Rejuvenate can be applied to turf, on its own or as a component of a mix, to improve conditions in the turf root zone. A blend of our soil improver and grass seed can also be used to repair divots. Gently raked in a thin layer across the surface will provide slow-release nutrients to the root system.

Growing media
Rejuvenate can be used in a range of blends with other substrates according to the application, e.g. cells in trays or pots. The formulation should be based on compost test results, such as nutrient content, and any other substrates used in the growing medium. Advice should be sought from a specialist in compost use.

Rejuvenate your Soil with our Soil Improver

From Waste to Resource

A soil improver is made from the organic material substrate, with the purpose of improving soil quality – developing its condition, fertility, and structure. Our soil improver is produced by composting green and food waste at our composting sites.

Soil is often exposed to harmful factors that deteriorate its nutrients for plants. For instance, clay soils can retain moisture but can become waterlogged and unworkable when they’re too wet, while dryer soils such as sandy soil will often lack the nutrients and resources needed to keep plants in a healthy state.

This is where soil improvers come in. Regularly applying soil improvers will develop soil performance over time, by replenishing nutrients and improving soil structure, both of which are important for plant establishment and growth.

The Benefits of Soil Improvers

Soil improvers can deliver multiple benefits to the soil, allowing them to flourish and develop. This commonly leads to healthier soil, improving the symbiotic relationships between the root systems and all other positive microbial organisms. These are vital for the conversion of nutrients and chemicals into available sustenance for plant growth.

The benefits of soil improvers are vast, and they include the following:

Slow Release of Essential Nutrients

Soil improvers are nutrient-rich, delivering plant nutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, all vital for establishment, development, and sustenance.

Helps Reduce Compaction of Dense Soil

Soil improvers improve the friability (the ease of soil to crumble) of your soil thus allowing water to flow more freely and preventing pooling. At the same time, the organic matter retains moisture within the soil structure slowing down the drying out of the soil.

An Ideal Source of Organic Matter

Simply put, soil improver is organic matter which can only benefit soil structure.

Reduces Peat Reliance

Peat bogs are carbon sinks and greatly reduce carbon in the atmosphere. By using peat-based garden products we are destroying this available resource. As responsible end users we should all strive to be peat-free. It goes without saying soil improver is a peat-free product.

Soil Improvers: What’s their Purpose?

Soil improver is like a super-charged concentrated compost. Produced from organic material, it improves the fertility and structure of the soil. Mix our soil improver through the upper layer of the soil to improve soil health and encourage better plant growth.

In addition, soil improvers increases the organic matter in the soil which can improve water retention in the soil. Soil improver is not the same as multipurpose compost. If you wish to plant immediately into our soil improver we recommend 1 part soil improver to 2 parts soil or fine wood chip. Soil improver can be used as mulch where it is left on the surface of the soil. This is called the no-dig gardening method.

Weeds are suppressed by the mulch and the soil improver gently releases nutrients into the soil. Natural composting and earthworms will eventually integrate the soil improver into the soil over time.

Applying Soil Improvers

Soil improvers must be applied correctly, and effective application of soil improvers allows soils to fully absorb their nutrients.

To apply your soil improver, dig over the area you want to add the soil improver on carefully. Spread an even layer of soil improver to the desired depth, and dig the soil improver into the soil using a gardening fork.

You will need to incorporate approximately 50mm to 100mm of soil improver depending on your soil type, while also ensuring that you don’t disturb the subsoil. As a general rule, it is best to apply one part soil improver to two parts soil.

Please note, if you are working the soil improver into a planted area, you should not dig too close as you may harm the roots.

What about Compost?

Most garden stores have both multi-purpose and specialist compost and soil improvers available, and it can be difficult to understand the difference between the two. Luckily, we can break that down for you so you understand whether to choose compost or soil improvers for your garden.

Think of soil improver as super concentrated compost. The strength of the nutrients in soil improvers is too much for plants to cope with neat. Soil improver can be diluted with other organic matter such as wood fines to make compost.

Soil improvers are applied to soil to improve its physical and chemical properties. While composts deliver nutritional benefits to your plants, soil improvers offer benefits to your existing soil but are not designed to be planted as a stand-alone growing media.

What about Fertilisers?

In a similar notion, you might go to a garden store and find fertilisers as well as soil improver available to purchase. Both are ideal for plant health and deliver distinctive benefits for your soil but in different ways.

Fertilisers are used to rapidly supply the nutrients your plants need to grow but can be short-lived. Whereas composts and soil improvers slowly release these nutrients over time but also improve your soil structure creating a better long-term environment for plant growth.
