| Top Soil and Soil Improvers |
|
In the world of grow your own gardening, although it's probably accurate to describe building your raised beds as the hard work, filling them with a suitable medium in which healthy vegetables and herbs can grow is by far the most important task. After spending all that time and effort in carefully planning and constructing the beds, it seems churlish to baulk at the chance of providing your vegetable plants with the highest quality topsoil available - a service we can offer courtesy of Rolawn, long recognised as the country's leading supplier of turf and topsoil.
We're delighted to offer you three grades of excellent soil; the Vegetable and Fruit Topsoil should go a long way to helping you keep the family - and friends - in vegetables; Blended Loam Topsoil for all your landscaping projects, beds and borders; and the Soil Improver, ideal for mulching and adding to existing soil in need of an organic matter infusion. Throw in the very popular Strulch, rapidly making a name for itself in gardening circles, traditional New Horizon growbags - real greenhouse stalwarts - and even soil provided by the helping, erm, hands of sheep, worms and 420 million years of history and we can stake a very good claim to be your single-stop-soil-shop!
We can even offer you advice on soil and compost via our Master Composter Martin Fiddes - contact him by e-mail with your soil-related questions and queries. |

Sheep's Wool Compost |
|
£8.50
|
Sheep's Wool Compost is an excellent eco-friendly peat-free garden compost that mixes bracken and sheep’s wool to help retain water while releasing nutrients to feed flowers, fruit and vegetables throughout the growing season. The idea originated from old gardening books that talked of wool's natural ability to hold water to itself, and provide long term nutrient release - wool is still famously used in the 'Rhubarb Triangle' of Yorkshire. |
