It is just crushed stone. In gardens it is used for drainage – how much depends on how sharp you need the drainage to be. Add it to lavender beds or alpine beds for drainage along with crushed oyster shell for calcium.
How do you add grit to soil?
Add approximately one handful of grit (40-50g) to each litre of compost and mix well. Many plants such as alpine and cacti do not like moisture. To aid drainage and to keep the foliage dry remove 1-2cm of compost from the pot and replace with Westland Potting Grit.
What grit do gardeners use?
Cheers! Crushed granite is often used as Horticultural grit, as is crushed limestone. Depending on what you want to use it for and how acidic or alkaline your soil is you can use one or the other.
