Meadowmat Low Fertility Soil – Wildflowers thrive in poor soils which are low in key nutrients. Most garden soil found in the UK is naturally too rich for a successful wildflower meadow. This specially blended growing medium is an essential aid for establishing successful wildflower areas in gardens, parks, amenity areas and schools and helps minimise competition from weeds and grasses. Meadowmat Low Fertility Soil is made up of predominantly sand based soil with very low levels of organic matter. The high levels of sand provide a free draining base to minimise water logging and to allow nutrients such as nitrogen to escape, making the soil less fertile and protecting new seedlings from rotting. To learn more about why low nutrient soil is important for wildflower establishment check out our blog Available in either Bulk Bags (0.6m³) or handy 20L bags Key Points Tested to BS3882:2015 low fertility parameters. Friable and free draining Loamy sand with virtually no organic matter Contains no contaminants that are considered toxic to plants, human life or the environment Low overall fertility Screened to 10mm to ensure virtually no stones pH 7.8 Meadowmat Low Fertility Soil – Composition 88% Sand 7% Clay 5% Silt Coverage Each bulk bag will cover approximately 5m² to a depth of 150mm. Each handy sized 20L bag will cover 1m² to a depth of 20mm, for best results we recommend a depth of at least 100mm to establish a wildflower area.
