This month we are putting the spotlight on horticultural grit and the benefits it has in the garden.
Mulch: Mulching your garden beds can help retain moisture in the soil and regulate soil temperature.
Our customers love our decorative mulch – Horticultural Grit.
Our Horticultural Grit is particularly good if you have heavy clay soil. Clay soil is known for its fine particles and high water holding capacity, which makes it difficult for water to drain through it. When water cannot drain through the soil, it can lead to waterlogging, which can ultimately kill plants. Adding grit to the soil can help to create a more porous structure, as the coarse texture helps to break up clay soil allowing more space for air to flow and water to drain through.
Decorative mulch for beds and borders
Will help protect the root of the plants, enrich the soil and help to control weeds.
Potting
Adding our horticultural grit to your plant pots will improve drainage and allow more space for air to flow.
Its also great for filling joints between paving slabs!
