Our Leca Soil is a lightweight, blended soil which is made up of screened sandy loam soil, coconut husk coir, PAS 100 green compost and Leca 4-10mm.

This sandy loam soil is BS3882 compliant and is screened to 10mm. It provides good structure due to its blend of sand, silt and clay. The sand aids drainage while the silt and clay provide nutrients and hold moisture.

The coconut husk coir is a natural, organic material with excellent water absorption and retention with a high success rate for germination.

PAS 100 green compost provides a slow release of nutrients while improving soil structure. It aids drainage and reduces soil compaction to ensure the soil stays lightweight.

LECA stands for Light Expanded Clay Aggregates which provide the perfect balance of moisture, food and air. The space between the small pebbles allow oxygen to get to the roots, enhancing airflow to the roots.

This soil isn’t suitable for ericaceous plants.
