Soil, Your Garden's Engine Room

Soil is the engine room of the garden and healthy soil will help the garden perform at its best. One of the most important things that gardeners can add to their soil is organic matter. Organic matter provides some fantastic benefits:

• Absorbs moisture like a sponge so helps to increase the water holding capacity of soil.
• Helps improve soil structure by binding mineral particles together and creating additional spaces for air and water and allowing easier root growth.
• Encourages earthworms and beneficial microorganisms which enrich the soil and help create plant available nutrients.

Yates Dynamic Lifter Organic Plant Food is pelletised composted manure so is an easy to use, concentrated source of organic matter. Dynamic Lifter is rich in organic nutrients to gently feed plants over several weeks and is also boosted with the goodness of blood and bone, fishmeal and seaweed.

 

Yates Dynamic Lifter Organic Plant Food can be mixed into the soil when planting new trees, shrubs and plants and also dug into garden beds before planting. To provide plants with a continuous source of organic nutrients, apply Dynamic Lifter each 6-12 weeks as a top dressing and water in well.
