Strengthen the foundation of your garden
The importance of good soil structure
Good soil structure is essential for plant growth. Our Bracken Down is a natural soil conditioner made from composted bracken, bark, and manure. Rich in organic matter and trace elements, it helps improve soil texture, boost fertility, and retain moisture. Over time, it breaks down gently, enriching the earth and encouraging better root systems. It’s particularly useful for acid-loving plants and an ideal choice for gardens that need a natural lift.
Choose professional-grade compost
Peat-free performance, trusted by experts
Used widely by growers across the UK, SylvaGrow® Growing Medium offers exceptional quality without compromising on sustainability. Made from a blend of fine bark, wood fibre, and coir, this 100% peat-free compost supports vigorous growth and healthy root development. Its nutrient balance lasts for 4–6 weeks, making it a strong performer for containers, raised beds, or general garden use. This is a reliable solution for both home gardeners and professionals.
Add structure and nutrients to your beds
Enrich and energise with organic matter
SylvaGrow® Farmyard Soil Improver brings a rich source of organic matter to your soil. Produced from anaerobic digestate – a by-product of renewable energy – this 100% peat-free product improves soil fertility, structure, and water-holding capacity. It’s especially effective in heavy or compacted soils, helping to boost productivity while reducing the need for artificial fertilisers. It’s not suitable for acid-loving plants, but it’s an excellent choice for the majority of garden settings.
Lay the groundwork for success

For levelling, planting, or general soil replacement, our Topsoil Blended Loam is a clean, mid-dark brown topsoil that’s free from pests, peat, and added chemicals. It’s easy to handle, virtually stone-free, and perfect for establishing lawns or preparing beds. When used with compost or a soil improver, it sets a strong base for lasting garden growth.
