Lawn mix is a blend of soil that has less organic matter than other varieties. It also has a finer grain. In effect, it has all the drainage and stability you need in a soil to facilitate the perfect lawn.

Sandy loam soil is used in gardening, and is composed of sand, silt, and clay. It's a soil that features great drainage; the sand particles are large, allowing water to flow through easily.

That depends entirely on what you're using the soil for. We sell many different kinds of soil, from sandy loam and lawn soil mix to potting mix and premium turf underlay. Talk to a team member to discuss your plans, and we can help to match you with the optimum soil.

There are a number of different ways to improve clay garden soil. For example, you could:

• Add gypsum to the soil
• Add organic matter
• Replace the soil entirely and use something more suitable, like sandy loam soil.

Gypsum is a sulphate mineral used to treat soil that suffers from a  high level of clay. To treat the soil, just sprinkle the gypsum over the area of soil that you want to improve, and then dig it in. If you'd like some help, our staff in store can show you how to do it.

The process of change in the soil can take as long as a few months. Once it does take effect, soil should be more 'crumbly' and allow for better drainage.
