How to use

Soil Conditioning

As a soil conditioner, it is recommended to place 10-20 cm of Daltons Compost on top of the garden and fork it in, mixing thoroughly with existing garden soil.

Planting
  • When using for planting, dig a hole twice the size of the root ball.
  • Gently tease the root ball out and trim off any knotted roots.
  • Place the plant into the hole so the base of the stem is at ground level.
  • Mix soil from the hole with equal parts of Daltons Compost and fill the hole back in, gently shaking the plant to distribute the soil/compost mix evenly around the roots.
  • Gently firm the soil and water thoroughly.
  • Mulch using Daltons Premium Mulch and Feed.

We have a clay soil that has been treated with gypsum to improve aeration, but the soil is lacking in rich nutrients. Also, I recently read that bark depletes the soil of nutrients as it breaks down, is this true?
