Title: Gardening Mandurah
Episode: 1 Hour WA Easter Special
Broadcast Date: 17 April
Presenter: Trevor
With more and more of us moving into new subdivisions in suburbs south and north of Perth in sandy soils that are pretty much beach sand, and their ability to sustain a great garden is almost non existent, unless, that is, you work the soil to make it fertile. Trevor visits the home of Steve and Tammy to check out what happens when you pay good attention to your soil.
- Garden experts will tell you to add lots of organics to built the soil up-things like manure and fertilizers are often thrown around.
- What Tammy and Steve have discovered, however, is something many West Australians are discovering and raving about; Soil Solver.
- Soil Solver is a Kaolin Clay, rock mineral and silt blend that is dramatically improving home garden result.
- Applying this product at a rate of 12.5kg per square meter will improve your soil forever, it will decrease its demands for nutrients and most importantly save a fortune in water consumption.
- The best thing is that, unlike organic supplements, this addition only needs to be made once and it changes soil quality forever.
- Exotic plants are possibly the most demanding when it comes to nutrients; they need a complex diet and consistent moisture to really perform and adding clay slows the movement of moisture through sand.
- The thing is with the right soil amendments a sandy soil can easily be turned into an incredibly productive beautiful garden and 10 years ago we’d never have even thought of adding clays but now we can, and it makes a huge difference and a lot of sense. Tammy and Steve’s experiences here in the southern suburbs are a great example of what can be achieved…
