Soils for Growing Vegetables and Herbs
Food you grow at home is only as healthy as the soil it grows in - choose our products and you will:
- Maximize Nutrition: Your homegrown food’s health depends on nutrient-dense soil.
- Boost Vitamins and Minerals: Enrich your soil to enhance your diet with essential nutrients.
- Reduce Problems: Healthy soil means stronger plants, resulting in fewer pests and diseases.
Note on vegetable garden soils:
There are two main options for your vegetable garden:
1. Vegetable Mix: A complete soil, ready to grow, perfect for filling new raised beds - plant directly into this fresh soil.
2. Vegetable Concentrate: A soil improver designed to rejuvenate existing soil and top up nutrients for new season crops - must be dug into existing soil.
For wicking beds, we recommend* our Wicking Bed Mix. For pots and containers smaller than about 100L, use our Premium Potting Mix.
