Earth Cycle Compost is a nutrient dense organic soil conditioner based on composted plant material. Ideal, all-round product for your general gardening & horticultural needs. Incorporation improves drainage & aeration in heavy clay soils & adds body to light sandy soils, helping to retain moisture & nutrients during warm weather. It improves soil fertility by adding vital humus & plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphate, potash & trace elements, encouraging healthy plant growth. Available: 40 litres x 1, 10 or 20 bags. Nutrients are released over many weeks as the compost breaks down naturally in the soil. Such natural slow release sustains strong root growth, flowering & fruiting & keeps foliage green & healthy. It also boosts beneficial soil life leading to healthy soil microbial activity that helps to naturally suppress plant diseases. Compost enhances moisture retention in soil, leading to enhanced drought resistance meaning that more moisture is available for your plants during dry periods which is critical for them to flourish.
