Clay Soil 20KG Bag

In contrast to sandy soils, clay soils are generally very fertile. The platelets (tiny fragments) that make up the soil hold minerals and water.

Providing a garden with the best possible growing medium is essential for strong and healthy shrubs. They require a balance of air, water and nutrients to allow them to flourish.

• Original source of the nutrients that we use to grow crops.
• Clay soils feel very sticky and rolls like plasticine when wet.
• They can hold more total water than most other soil types and, although only about half of this is available to plants, crops seldom suffer from drought.
• Ability to supply essential plant nutrients and water in adequate amounts and proportions for plant growth and reproduction.
• The nutrients move from the soil into plants that we eat like tomatoes and other fruits and vegetable
• They are very late in warming up in the spring because water heats up more slowly than mineral matter.
• They are normally fairly rich in potash, but are deficient in phosphates.
