Vitax Coarse Grit approx. 20kg

This has been great. Substantial bag. I have used it to add drainage when planting in the garden - beneath the compost added to the planting area, and to improve soil quality in a long neglected, somewhat overly wet, cloggy-soil area that had a major and enormous-weed infestation, which corner I have been treating and developing this year. A lot of disease near this area including some very pretty fungus on an old tree stump which is one of the biggest problems and which area I am still busy treating with one thing and another because of the fungus for one thing. There are trillions upon trillions of woodlice and such creatures can spread the fungus about the place I have just read - so in this way YES, they do harm plants and I am jolly sure they eat the roots. Apparently, lots of woodlice indicates immense biodiversity, however, plantations cost money, lots of money and it is not even my land.So I have also just added some to the worst area of soil which I will be sowing with grass seed - possibly in late autumn now, which is much easier on the watering front as I am old (and sick) and have to carry everything some way. Not a huge area to sow, but it needs such a lot of work because it was in such a bad state. This huge, towering weeds for example would have taken over the entire (large) garden! I have also added some gypsum there, which does not seem to have helped (yet?) and I will be layering with a bit of seed compost in the final stage, as grass seed grows fantastically in that.It is a highly biodiverse area I am living in and unless in controlled, raised beds, one can grow almost nothing, as it gets eaten. Bl**dy nightmare it is. I must have lifted near on a hundred slugs and snails just this one evening for one example, though I admit, mostly but not entirely from the compost heap which my neighbour who shares the garden, likes to bring down from her end, as she does little to no responsible control of anything. Then there are the similar neighbours and also, round here the oldest and most sick people do the most and even the heaviest work outside. Quite unbelievable is the extent of the minimalistic approach of the youth. I have never seen anything like it. If they should cut their own grass, it is only a quarter of it and it is in no way an environmental consideration; there is already plenty of that in our (shared) and rather large garden.It is very difficult, establishing a new plantation as of course richness of biodiversity attacks anything young plant. A few thefts is fine, it's nice to share, but entire destruction is not.I disturbed a toad the other day, by accident and then had to fetch a shallow dish of water in case he needed some recovery. I suspect he may be hanging out under one of the tarpaulins, this one still covering last year's compost. It certainly rots down to nothing, isn't it? And to think, all of that sweat and tears.I am also using some spirit vinegar chucked into a can of water on that fungus-ey tree stump area. It seemed to help another area and have you seen that RootMax stuff? I have ordered some and that will be going down in the very final stages of the latest area of land I am working on, before sowing and planting, though tonight's slug collecting did go well, so hopefully we won't be needing to do too much more work now and that's all it is. I know, I know.... I am carefully selecting shrubs as best I can and I have also given some away to the creatures before having to eventually step in anyway. Nematodes? I've done it all. Making a fortune, this bio-science industry is, whilst common humankind, blocked from healthcare, plus the constant bombardment of other major threats - all over the world, not least the Earth being entirely entombed in satellites - the true cause of the weather crisis, are being killed off.Two robins arrived one morning, peering down at the compost heap from the fence behind it and I realised I had left them no slugs. I was up first, I told them. Anyway, I told myself I would need to change my behaviours in future and be more considerate. The depths of a frozen winter and a parched summer aside, If people did not keep feeding the birds, they would need to work harder and eat more slugs, isn't it?So how do you dispose of your, slugs? No-one is confessing.I hope my review has made you smile.Lots of love.Note for the elderly/disabled/weak sick : VERY heavy bag. Unlikely you will be able to lift it single handedly.

My fGoods were delivered and quality excellent., can highly recommend this product.riend arrived unexpectantly to work on the pathway so the early delivery was appreciated.

I bought this product to cover the surface area of my potted plants. Perfect for the job.

great all round grit

Good mix did what it says on tin?

The coarse grit has a number of uses : improving the drainage in clay soils, adding it to your garden pots for the same purpose, I purchased this because I have alpine varieties of plants which don't like their roots sitting in water the coarse grit helps to drain the water away from them as these type of plants grow in slopes on mountains. It will be useful in the winter since the frosty conditions kill off delicate alpine plants when roots can't cope and expand with cold conditions then thaw out killing the plants. The coarse grit is a good medium to use for this purpose; I also used it to improve my drainage in my clay soil which holds water, would purchase again as it's versatile to use. Decided to purchase this again because its such a reliable product....in dispute with seller over non delivery of product this was a week ago ! I can't get a refund..Still attempting negotiations for refund...and this is since 14. 8. 23 !

Grit is great to use as decorative addition to house plant pots good size
