Optimize Your Growing Media

🌱 Westland Horticultural Perlite

Best for: Drainage and Aeration.

Perlite is a naturally occurring volcanic rock that has been heated to expand into lightweight, white granules.

  • Prevent Soil Compaction: Adding Perlite to your potting mix keeps the soil "open" and airy.

  • Avoid Root Rot: Perfect for cacti, succulents, and Mediterranean herbs that require fast-moving water.

  • Professional Mixes: Mix with Westland multi-purpose compost to create a custom, lightweight potting medium.

💧 Westland Horticultural Vermiculite

Best for: Moisture Retention and Seed Starting.

Unlike Perlite, Vermiculite acts like a sponge, soaking up water and nutrients to release them slowly.

  • Seed Germination: Provides a consistent, humid environment for delicate seedlings.

  • Nutrient Buffering: Helps retain essential minerals in the root zone for longer.

  • Pricking Out: Ideal for mixing into potting soil for moisture-loving plants like ferns and tropicals.

♻️ Westland Compost Maker

Best for: Accelerating the Recycling Process.

Turn your kitchen scraps and garden waste into "Black Gold" faster.

  • Nutrient Rich: Contains a nitrogen-based starter that feeds the bacteria responsible for decomposition.

  • Fast Acting: Breaks down tough organic matter—including lawn clippings and woody prunings—in record time.

  • Eco-Friendly: Reduces household waste while providing you with free, organic soil improver.
