We are excited to announce that our soils are now certified AS 4419. AS 4419 is an Australian Standard that provides guidelines for producing and using soils in landscaping and garden applications.
It focuses on ensuring the quality and suitability of soils for plant growth, covering aspects like physical and chemical properties, and freedom from contaminants. The standard is particularly relevant to the recycled organics industry and manufacturers of landscaping soils.
The standard specifies minimum requirements for various types of soils, including general purpose soils, top dressing, topsoil, and landscaping mixes.
It ensures that the soils can support plant growth, providing adequate drainage, aeration, and nutrient availability.
AS 4419 helps prevent the introduction of contaminants into landscaping soils, which can harm plant health and the environment.
The standard covers different types of soils, including "organic soil" and "low-density soil," which have specific requirements based on their intended use.
