BD500 Biodynamic preparation concentrate (sufficient for approx. 4 home garden applications).

Bentonite is of interest to gardeners due to its water holding ability. Use at a minimum rate of 1 - 4kg per m2 on coarse sandy soils, the general rule being the poorer the soil, the more Bentonite to use, up to a volume of 3 – 5%. It needs to be worked into at least the top 10 - 20cms.  We always recommend incorporating organic matter in addition to water holding minerals, as part of a complete soil improvement process.

*Note – we recommend ‘Sand Remedy’, which is a pre-mixed product ready to use on your garden in place of soil wetting agents. It has a range of other minerals added, as well as trace elements, beneficial microbes, and a food source for them. It is designed for maximum efficiency and performance, and is easier to use than bentonite on its own.

Biochar is made from poultry litter and sawdust, put through a special burner, which keeps the waste at a very high temperature for an extended period.  Carbon produced in the process is captured and stored in the biochar (it is a carbon negative process).

Biochar provides large amounts of carbon, which won't break down, like compost does (although they both have important roles in soil improvement). It is also highly absorbent so will help with water holding in sandy soil. It also provides a habitat and food source for beneficial microbes. Add Biochar to compost bins, and "super charge" it with water and liquid fertiliser prior to applying to your garden.

A blend of aged sheep and cow manure, weed free. Ideal to incorporate into garden beds as a ‘top up’ for depleted soils, or to add into compost heaps or no dig gardens.
