This specialist soil conditioner is suitable for all soil types, whether you’re working with heavy, clay-based earth or lighter, sandy ground.

In dense soils, it enhances drainage and aeration, while in lighter soils, it adds structure and richness through natural humus.

Made from organic compost, this soil conditioner helps suppress plant diseases and boosts soil fertility by replenishing essential nutrients—promoting vigorous, healthy plant growth.

Our compost also improves the soil's ability to retain moisture, increasing its resistance to drought. This means your plants have better access to water during dry spells, helping them thrive and giving your garden a lush, show-stopping appearance.

FAQs

Can I put too much compost in my garden?

Yes, it’s possible to add too much compost to your garden soil. This is because compost is full of nutrients, and adding too much can cause an imbalance in the nutrient levels in the soil.

Phosphorus and potassium can build up over time and become so dominant in the environment that they can block the absorption of other essential nutrients like calcium and magnesium. So carefully blending new, nutrient-rich compost with your existing soil ensures that whatever you’re growing is properly nourished.

How much compost do I need?

We recommend using enough compost to blend with the existing soil in your garden at approximately a 20-30% ratio. This will ensure there is enough compost for your plants to get all of the nutrients they need, whilst not being the only soil in the mix!

Remember, Earth Cycle organic composts are soil additions and have been created to mix with the soil already in your garden. For more information on how much compost you’ll need for a particular project, get in touch with our team on 01243 781730 – we’re happy to help! Alternatively, if you’re buying bulk compost for delivery, then why not use the help of our Bulk Bag Calculator for a quick and easy calculation.

Should I use mulch or compost?

This depends on your goal! If you want to improve the growth of your plants, enjoy more blossoms on your flowers, and provide your garden with additional nutrition, then you should use compost.

However, if you want to reduce weed development, manage run-off and keep soil moist, then it’s mulch that you need.
