10mm Compost/Soil Improver
This product is peat free, Ph 9 and screened to a 0 – 10mm particle size.
It is suitable for general landscape works and can also be used as a mulch around trees/shrubs, in borders or as a top dressing on lawns. It’s excellent in flower borders, vegetable plots or raised beds. Simply dig it into your soil to improve structure, moisture holding ability, worm activity and root growth.
‘Reward’ should be mixed with soil at a ratio of 1 part Reward to 2 parts soil to achieve its full potential as it will not support plant growth on its own.
