Soiled for choice

Pod is a quality soil improver and can be used in a number of applications.

It is made from composted green and woody plant materials and is 100% peat free

The composting process is operated under a strict quality management system, which ensures a consistent and weed-free product.

Pod has a great number of uses, including:

As a soil improver

Pod can be used to improve soil structure and fertility. It also boosts the water holding capacity and adds organic matter to the soil. Spread the product in a layer 25-50mm thick and either dig in or allow the action of the weather and earthworms to incorporate into the soil.

Increased fertility of the soil

For tree planting
Combine 4 parts excavated soil with 1 part Pod and use this mix to backfill the planting pit. A fertiliser is not required in the backfill mix, when using Pod.

For turf establishment

Our finely screened product is also available to use as a turf dressing. Apply a layer of Pod 25 - 50mm thick and incorporate, to a depth of 100 - 150mm and establish a good seed bed to produce a dense, dark gree, sward, without excessive growth.

These usage instructions are based on WRAP's (the Waste & Resource Action Programme) document "Compost Specifications for the Landscape Industry", which has been supported by the Landscape Institute and BALI.
