Bentonite Clay

Soil Amendments & Bentonite Clay DIY for Sale or Installed

For use in sandy gardens in Perth, turning sand into soil.

Preparing the soil is key to creating a sustainable garden. Soil amendments change the structure of the soil to better hold water and nutrients. Products such as Bentonite Clay, Zeolite and Compost are the most important for Perth’s sandy soils and will treat problems such as dryness, water repellency and nutrient deficiency.

Bentonite clay changes the physical structure of the soil. Instead of it being inert sand particles which are basically small rocks with little to no water capacity, the clay when mixed into gardens and lawns will fill in the gaps between the sand. Clay particles are hundreds of times smaller than grains of sand. Clay also has the natural property of polar attraction so inherently will draw water towards it preventing hydrophobic conditions.

Because clay is a natural occurring mineral it will never disappear from the place it is mixed into unlike water crystals (which are made from petroleum). Bentonite clay is also cheap.

DIY

We have rotary hoes for hire to mix the clay throughly into the sand. The machines are effective to a depth of 30cm. Our recommended application rate for Bentonite is between 3Kg to 5Kg per m2. Mixing it in is the key so if you are doing large areas, make light work of it by hiring a rotary hoe.
