Organic Garden Compost
Peat Free, Organic, Recycled Compost

• For trees, shrubs, beds, borders and vegetables
• Improves and invigorates all soil types

Vital Earth Organic Garden Compost is based on specially composted garden wastes to sustain strong healthy growth in a natural and long-lasting manner. Vital nutrients – such as phosphate, potash and trace elements – are released over many weeks in accordance with soil conditions. Such natural slow release sustains strong root growth, flowering and fruiting and keeps foliage green and healthy for at least 8 weeks. Being rich in humus, it conserves moisture, stimulates soil life and discourages plant diseases.
