Special Blend
The special blend has a balanced (neutral) pH which allows the soil to be suitable for most plants. The nutrient profile of the soil is strong and usually adequate for most nutrients. The high organic matter levels of the soil blend improve many characteristics of the soil including the ability to hold water and supply nutrients to plants growing in the soil. The SoilWorx Special blend as tested is a suitable filler soil for a Structural Support Soil .
Applications
Improved Soil Structure: Special blend soil applications often include organic matter such as compost, which can improve soil structure. This leads to better water drainage and aeration, preventing waterlogging and soil compaction.
Enhanced Nutrient Content: Special blends can include organic materials rich in nutrients. These nutrients become available to plants as the organic matter breaks down, leading to improved plant growth and health.
Reduced Erosion: Soil amendments like mulch can help prevent erosion by protecting the soil surface from the impact of raindrops and wind.
Water Retention: Special blends with water-retentive components can help soil retain moisture, reducing the need for frequent irrigation and making plants more drought-resistant.
Reduced Chemical Dependency: By improving soil fertility and structure, special blends can reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, promoting more sustainable and environmentally friendly gardening or farming practices.
Enhanced Plant Growth: The combination of improved soil structure, nutrient availability, and microbial activity often leads to healthier and more vigorous plant growth.
Benefits
It’s important to note that the specific benefits of a special blend soil application can vary depending on factors such as the composition of the blend, the type of plants being grown, the local climate, and the existing soil conditions. Customising the blend to suit your specific needs and conducting regular soil testing can help ensure the best results.
