SOIL CONDITIONERS

General Information

(Frequently Asked Questions)

ANL manufactures an extensive range of humus & soil conditioners, each suited for specific applications. These products can also be used as fine composted mulches, for customers preferring black or dark mulch.

Soil conditioners are used essentially to add organic matter to sandy soils and to improve water holding in the soil When added to clay soils they help break it up and improve drainage. In general, soil conditioners should preferably be applied to a depth of 100mm, and then incorporated to a depth of 200mm. This results in a maximum of 50% by volume being organic matter.

Whilst our humus products are generally suited to most plants, native plants, (and in particular plants belonging to the Proteaceae family such as Grevilleas), cannot tolerate excessive phosphorus. For customers with native plants, we recommend only Greenlife® `Mulch & Compost™'.
