Garden Supplies

1.Soil: Soil is available in various mixtures. When mulch and soil conditioners are put in to the soil, the fungi and bacteria break down in to organic matter that release nutrients during the process of breaking down, thus, enriching the soil further. Mulch and conditioner are also known as 'slow release fertilizer.' The various mixtures available are general soil mix, landscape mix, native soil mix, special lawn mix, veggie and flower mix,

azalea and camelia mix, potting mix, rose and carnation mix depending on what you would like to grow.

2.Mulches: The benefit of mulching garden beds is that a layer of at least 50mm will protect them from evaporation in summer and wind erosion. During winters, mulches maintain soil warmth and help healthy growth during the cold. Mulches are available as black mulch, budget garden mulch, compost mix, enviro mulch, jungle mulch, karri and peat mulch.

3.Soil conditioners: Soil conditioners help renew old garden beds and also help microorganisms and worms to ventilate the soil. They are most suitable for preparing sand for lawns. Conditioners also act as a nutrient supply. They are available as compost mix, metropolitant soil conditioner and soil conditioner.

4.Sands: Sands can be used for building a sandpit, laying pavers or general landscaping. Depending on what the sand will be used for, there are different kinds of sands available. They are brickies sand that can be used for mixing or footings. The other one is the lawn sand, which, as the name suggests is for your lawn. The next one is the washed white sand that is generally used in sandpits for kids.

5.Fertilizers: They are used for all garden applications for fruits, vegetables, shrubs, trees, flowers and lawns.

6. Pebbles, rocks and blocks: They are decorative supplies and enhance the beauty of your garden even more. Pebbles are available in different colours, shapes and sizes as lava pebbles, white pebbles, small snow stone, snow gravel, medium snow stone and tumbled snow stone.
