Product Highlights

Heavy soil can stay wet and starve roots of air. Perlite is a light, porous material that creates small air spaces in the soil and helps extra water drain away. Cocopeat is a natural fibre that holds moisture while keeping the mix loose. Vermicompost is a rich organic manure that feeds plants and improves soil structure. Together they make a soft, well-balanced mix that suits many plants, and you can adjust the ratio to suit them: more perlite for succulents, more cocopeat and vermicompost for leafy plants and vegetables. A useful kit for repotting, seed starting and filling new planters.
