Product Information

Soil improvement: For general soil improvement, fork a 2.5cm (1") layer of Levington Organic Blend Soil Conditioner into the top 10cm (4") of soil. All these remedies will take some time to achieve full effect and you may find it most expedient to confine initial efforts to the top few inches or to the actual planting and sowing rows, then in time the improvement will spread into the lower levels. Many plants such as the major salad crops would not benefit from cultivation beyond about the top 4 inches. Have you considered growbags for the initial stages, when exhausted the contents form a valuable resource for soil omprovement and the cost is similar to bags of compost. At Directbulbs we have a great range of plant food and pest control products to ensure you get the best from your bulbs and plants. All products are from sourced from the top horticultural suppliers such as Vitax, Plantworks and Burgon and Ball.

Dig the soil over roughly and apply approximately 200g per square metre. Leave for one month after application, before re-working the soil. Heavy clay soils will benefit from repeat applications in the autumn and the following spring.

Vitax is the name of the company that market a range of products. The most common is a balanced feed, originally granular but now pelleted as far as retail trade is concerned. It is very similar to John Innes Base Fertiliser and akin to blood fish and bone. I cannot see its relevance to clay soil and its problems. Clay is noted for its ability to retain nutrients which are released more readily once the platelets are seperated and a crumb structure obtained which can be achieved in a combination of several ways such as bulky manure, sharp gritty sand, winter weathering (temporary) or liming if the pH is low. There are proprietary clay busters. If the Vitax that you mention is indeed one of these then follow the instructions. Clay Breaker is granulated for easy use all around the garden. It can be used at any time of the year, but the best results will be obtained when applied during autumn after rough digging of the affected areas. The combined action of Clay Breaker and winter frosts will give a good soil structure for spring planting. Before sowing and planting: Fork in Levington Organic Blend Farmyard Manure to the soil surface and to the bottom of the planting holes, drills and trenches for an abundant crop of flowers, fruit and vegetables.

This natural conditioner makes the soil easier to work and does not affect its natural pH. Apply this clay breaker soil conditioner in the Autumn for perfect results in the springtime. Planting roses, tree and shrubs: When planting mix one part Farmyard manure with two parts of the soil from the hole, place the plant in and then use the same mix to fill in around the sides and firm down the soil and water well. Clay Breaker will break up even the heaviest clay, improving friability and making the soil easier to work. This process will improve drainage and enhance soil warmth for earlier crop growth.

When to use: Granulated for easy use around the garden, Clay Breaker can be used at any time of the year. For vegetable plots and allotments: In spring spread a 5-8cm (2-3") layer of Levington Organic Blend Farmyard Manure over soil and dig in before sowing or planting. On heavy clay soils repeat when winter digging. Soil Conditioner: Spread an even layer of 5-8cm deep over the soil and fork to a depth of 15-20cm. On light sandy soils this application will help retain moisture and improve the organic matter content of the soil Clay particles are amazingly dominant in a soil. This is explained by the relative size of the different particles (clay, sand and silt) that soil contains. Clay particles are very small but, because this allows more particles to fit in any given space (say 1cm cubed), they have huge surface area that dominates the physical properties of soil. In comparison, sand and silt particles are larger, so fewer particles are needed to fill a space (say 1cm cubed again). As a result, the overall surface area of sand and silt is smaller and so much less influential on determining the characteristics of a soil than the clay particles.

The Royal Warrant

Soil enrichers are invaluable for gardeners looking to grow the healthiest plants, the most vibrant flowers, and the highest-quality fruit. Our catalogue contains peat and peat-free types, wholly organic blended farm manure , clay breakers and very large bags for big soil enriching projects around the garden. The added benefit of introducing Clay Breaker into the soil in autumn is that the winter frosts combine with the breaker to give a good soil structure for spring planting. Even where a clay soil contains for example 40 percent clay particles (a relatively modest content compared to heavy clay soils), the proportion of clay in the top cultivated part of the soil would have to be reduced by half to make the soil easy to work. This would require 250kg per sq m (460lbs per sq yd) of grit or gravel. Adding materials to clay can also make the clay less stable, so the soil becomes harder to manage. Experimenting on a small scale at first is recommended to be sure that any additions are worthwhile and won't have damaging effects on workability of the soil."
