Why Use Black Grit?

Black Grit helps return mineral content to tired or heavily used soils. Unlike quick liquid feeds, it provides longer-term mineral support that is slowly made available through soil biology.

It is especially useful for gardeners wanting to improve soil health, support stronger growth and give plants access to a broader range of minerals.
