The Importance of Composting
Composting is the process of turning organic matter that is ready for disposal into something beneficial. It is important because it converts organic materials (except anything animal-based) such as vegetable matter, eggshells, coffee grinds, tea bags, paper products, trimmed grasses, twigs/leaves, and the like by allowing them to decompose into a rich form of soil. This organic compost matter is chock-full of vitamins and helps in growing plants in any space. Compost is also crucial because it wards off harmful pests.
At Labrador Landscape Supplies, we understand that the right type of organic compost can make all the difference in a garden. Thus, Labrador Landscape provides only high-quality compost and soil combinations for any garden across the Brisbane and Gold Coast regions. Take a look at our unique soil and compost mixes.
Organic Soils
Labrador Landscape’s basic organic soil is our mixture of top quality soil with decomposed plant materials. This soil mixture creates a nutrient and mineral-rich mini-ecosystem with micro-organisms that feed and breathe life back into the soil. No chemicals have been added nor synthetic ingredients.
Mushroom Compost
Mushroom compost is a type of slow-release, organic plant soil and compost mixture. The compost is made up of organic materials such as hay, straw, corn cobs and hulls, poultry and horse manure, gypsum, peat moss, lime, and soybean meal. It gets its name from the fact that this is the type of organic compost used by commercial mushroom growers.
Veggie Mix
This is Labrador Landscape’s mixture of organic materials with high-quality topsoil made especially for vegetable growers. Its organic blend contains earthworm castings, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, and other organic materials. It also has mixtures of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
Under Turf Soil
Under turf soil is a rich organic soil base that is matured and is designed specifically for laying turf over. This is the best organic soil mixture to use for new plants to embed its roots to establish effortless growth. It is lighter than dense soil and so is easier to use for hand planting and seedlings.
Other Soils Available:
Drainage gravel
This is composed of 20mm crushed rock fragments and is ideal for drainage applications such as French drains and driveways. For gardening, drainage gravel prevents soil erosion when used for retaining walls and as mulch.
Top Dressing or Potting Mix
These are Labrador Landscape’s on-site mixtures for customer’s specifications or potting soil for specific plants.
