Transform sandy soil into a thriving, moisture-rich garden bed with Soil Solver, permanent improvement that helps every plant flourish.

• Sandy soils pose major challenges for gardeners as they drain too quickly, hold very few nutrients, and struggle to support plants that thrive in richer, moisture-retentive soils.
• Gavin Davis, a third-generation farmer and soil expert, discovered that blending calcium, magnesium and kaolin clay could improve soil moisture retention, nutrient availability and garden productivity by 30–50%.
• A single Soil Solver amendment can permanently transform sandy soil, creating long-lasting improvements that support a wide variety of plants, including natives, when paired with good mulching practices.
• Mulching remains essential, especially through hot months, helping lock in moisture, protect soil structure and support healthier, more resilient gardens.
• The results speak for themselves, a lush lawns, strong hedges and thriving roses, all maintained with Soil Solver and Super Compost Plus; availability varies, so check the website for your nearest stockist.
