Soil improvers

Improve your soil and watch your garden thrive with D.T. Brown’s soil improver range. When soil struggles, plants struggle, too, but fertile, high-quality soil encourages plant root development, helping them grow stronger and perform at their best.

Whether you’re nurturing beautiful blooms or tasty vegetables, our soil improvers promise unbeatable results. In addition to adding vital nutrients, soil improvers also aid the structure and consistency of the soil, which is essential for drainage, aeration, and overall soil fertility. This means the soil holds on to nutrients for longer, and plants can access them more readily, leading to healthier growth and improved yields.

What Is a Soil Improver?

A soil improver is a material or product added to soil to improve its structure, fertility, and ability to hold moisture. When it comes to soil improver vs compost, this is the key difference – while compost is designed to add nutrients, soil improvers also work on the consistency of the soil, creating a better environment for roots to grow and absorb nutrients. Common ingredients include charcoal, perlite, microbial products, and organic matter, all of which help with texture and soil health.

How to Use Soil Improvers

Apply soil improvers by spreading a generous layer over the soil surface and working it with a fork or spade. Do this in autumn or early spring, when the ground is workable and plants are ready to take advantage of improved conditions. Dig deeply to incorporate the material in new beds or tired ground. In established areas, topdress around existing plants. Water well after applying and reapply regularly to maintain soil health year after year.
