Spring has arrived in Australia. Understanding the roles of top soils and conditioners can make all the difference in achieving a blooming spring garden.

Understanding Top Soils and Soil Conditioners

Top soils are the uppermost layer of the soil, typically the top 13-25cm. They are packed with organic matter and microorganisms, making them invaluable for plant growth. On the other hand, soil conditioners enhance the soil's physical properties, boosting its nutrient content, structure, and moisture retention.

In the fluctuating conditions of Australian spring, here's how to use them effectively:

• Evaluate Your Soil: Understand its type — clayey, sandy, or loamy.
• Select the Right Product: For instance, dense clay soils can benefit from the Organic Clay Breaker, whilst nutrient-depleted terrains might need the rejuvenating touch of Botany Humus Compost™.
• Apply at Optimal Depth: Mix conditioners about 25-30cm deep.
• Water Smartly: After application, ensure thorough watering but maintain good drainage.
