Transform your garden into a thriving oasis with Neville—the secret ingredient for soil that truly thrives!

• Start by testing your soil’s pH to understand its nature, using a simple soil test with indicator drops and a colour chart.
• For acidic soils (pH 5-6), often found in wetlands or loam, use Lime & Dolomite Soil Improver to raise pH and improve nutrient access.
• This improver contains a 3-in-1 blend of lime, dolomite lime, and molasses, which improves soil structure and feeds beneficial microorganisms.
• For highly alkaline soils (pH 8-10), typical of coastal limestone areas, use Sulphur Soil Improver to lower pH and promote healthier plant growth.
• Some plants like azaleas, camellias, and blueberries thrive in acidic soils, so adding sulphur creates the perfect growing environment.
• For hard-to-break-up, clay soils with an acidic pH (4-6), use Gypsum Clay Breaker to improve structure, drainage, and water penetration.
• These new granular soil improvers are dust-free, easy to mix into the soil, and make a lasting difference to your garden’s health.
