Scotts Osmocote® Plus Trace Elements Organic Garden Soil

Do your garden and the environment a favour by using Organic Garden Soil to restore and maintain tired, poor quality soils. Fertilisers on their own won't restore the balance; organic matter is also needed - this premium quality organic soil is one of the easiest ways to add it.

Made from premium composted organic material
Encourages good soil micro-organisms and earthworms

How it works

Organic Garden Soil is one of the easiest ways to restore and maintain soil and plant health

It helps improve the chemistry and physical structure of your garden soil - keys to healthy plants
Organic compost helps lighten heavy clay soils to improve water and nutrient penetration
It also adds bulk to light sandy soils, holding moisture so the soil remains damp for longer after watering or rain

How to use

Add to soils before planting annuals, perennials, vegetables, herbs, shrubs, trees and climbers
Mix some through the existing soil before topping up with the remaining new soil - this promotes good drainage and root growth.
Topdress existing garden beds with a 5-10cm layer once or twice a year to replenish organic matter which has broken down and nutrients used by plants

When to use

Organic Garden Soil can be added to gardens at any time of the year, either incorporated into planting soil or as a topdress.
