How to Use Platinum Garden Soil
INSTRUCTIONS
UltraGrow Platinum® Garden Soil is ideal for all garden bed applications including veggie gardens. It can be used with native plants except for varieties with high sensitivity to Phosphorus. Always use a suitable mulch to preserve moisture. Â
Bags can be stored sealed out of direct sunlight for up to 12-months.
Warning: Don’t use like other waste based ‘soils’ as this soil holds moisture and is rich in nutrients so don’t over water or fertilise at initial installation.
THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS MICRO-ORGANISMS. AVOID BREATHING DUST OR MISTS-WEAR PARTICULATE MASK IF DUSTY. WEAR GLOVES AND KEEP PRODUCT MOIST WHEN HANDLING. WASH HANDS IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. READ DETAILED WARNING LABEL ON THIS BAG
WATERING & MULCHING
A thorough watering is required after planting to activate the microbes and nutrients incorporated in UltraGrow Platinum® Garden Soil. These essential nutrients last up to 16-months, while the bio inoculants make this a living medium, resulting in healthy plant growth for many years.
All garden soil should be mulched in order to protect the soil from the elements. Mulch will reduce moisture loss, suppress weeds and continue to decompose and feed the soil.
Fertilising
The soluble nitrogen content of this mix is higher, and its ability to consume soluble nitrogen is lower than that of regular mixes. A balanced fertiliser has been added at the time of manufacture, but additional fertiliser is recommended for optimal growth as part of a regular fertilising and maintenance regime.Â
At time of planting, UltraGrow Platinum® Garden Soil will provide all your plant needs to establish. While plants are stressed from handling and replanting, a treatment of Pure Kelp will ensure great results.Â
APPLICATION
- Gardens beds in direct on ground application
- Under new turf
- To ameliorate and enrich soil in tired garden beds
- Edibles and vegetable gardens
- For container gardening use UltraGrow Platinum® Potting Mix
Frequently Asked Questions
The UltraGrow brand was born over 30-years ago as a classification for the custom-blended soil our parent company, Centenary Landscaping Supplies, was producing. These soils were and still are unique. We started UltraGrow due to our dissatisfaction with the poor soil quality available to commercial and retail markets. An industry based on using waste material and soil as a vehicle for disposal rather than establishing beautiful gardens.
Through years of research and development, the UltraGrow Collection has become one of the most trusted brands in bulk and bagged soil, potting mix and soil conditioner. As our tagline suggests, UltraGrow undoubtedly is Growing Media You Can Trust.
Choosing good soil is fundamental as it will make up the foundation of your landscaped gardens for many years. After spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on plants or turf, protect your investment by giving them the best possible start. UltraGrow is a collection of exceptional quality landscape products, including waste-free soils, potting mixes and soil conditioners, and a range of bioliquid and granular fertilisers, which combine to provide plants with everything they need to flourish and improve with age. UltraGrow is uncompromising quality and performance.
We’ve redefined soils with rigorous horticultural science keeping in mind the gardener, landscaper, architect and nursery person.
Everything included in our blends have been selected for very specific reasons be it to improve the air-filled porosity, increase water holding capacity or feed the plant and micro organisms. Everything plays a part in creating a growing medium designed to encourage healthy plant growth.
Most commercially available soils and potting mix blends are comprised of a combination of loam soil and poorly composted green-waste supplied by the recycling industry. In the composting process, liquids are added. Though highly regulated, the quality of the finished product can be highly variable and inconsistent compromising the finished product.
Thorough watering is required after planting to activate the microbes and nutrients incorporated in UltraGrow Blends. These essential nutrients last up to 16-months, while the bio inoculants make this a living medium, resulting in healthy plant growth for many years. Â A balanced fertiliser has been added at the time of manufacture, but specialist fertiliser may be required for optimal growth in some applications.
