Soil Solver Clay Plus 22.5kg bag – treats approx 3-4 sq metres

Premium product for Professional landscapers and home gardeners. 

Permanently transforms sand into fertile loamy soil. It is a fully mineralised kaolin clay and silt product, blended to ensure each bag has the same high-quality ingredients. The tiny clay particles fit in between grains of sand which slows water movement and cures water repellency. The improved soil holds onto water, fertility and humus for longer than compost alone. It creates an earth-friendly environment in which soil organisms will thrive and multiply.

The Science behind Soil Solution:

Soil Solver® Clay Plus improves sand by adding kaolin clay, silt, and a unique scientifically tested balance of natural minerals – all of which guarantee an immediate great result.

​Adding organic matter is not the best way to permanently improve your soil. It eventually breaks down to an oily alkaline wax that coats the sand particles and causes water repellent soil. This is known as hydrophobic sand. Adding organic matter to low fertility sand is actually creating the hydrophobic problem and can  increase the alkalinity of the soil. The result is even less water holding capacity, and all the nutrition and humus leaches from the sand to the water table, then out to the river systems.

Recommendations:

We recommend using between 5 to 10 kgs per sqm for a permanent cure for water repellency and growing nutrient-dense fruit and vegetables. When first converting sand, use at least equal volumes of mature compost to provide adequate food for soil life (10kgs of clay to 10 litres of compost) and finish with a mulch to protect the soil.

Adding organic matter to low fertility sand is actually creating the hydrophobic problem and increasing the alkalinity of the soil, which is a big problem that we face in Perth. The result is even less water holding capacity, and all the nutrition and humus leaches from the sand to the water table, then out to the river systems.

Using Soil Solver® Clay Plus guarantees the ongoing reduction of the “wax load” in your soil, thanks to the increased micro-organism activity. Science, backed up with real-life results, shows that we need to increase the clay content to 5% by weight of the total soil mass. The amount of clay, therefore, that you need, depends on the % of the product.
