Gingin Gold Soil Conditioner
Blood and bone, fish and seaweed, cow manure.
Gingin Gold is a 30 litre soil conditioner from GO Organics WA. The bag lists blood and bone, fish and seaweed, and cow manure — a blend of well composted materials that gives soil an organic base and loosens compacted ground so roots can get through it.

Real stock, not a swatch. Blended products vary a little batch to batch, so treat these as a guide rather than an exact colour match.

What Gingin Gold Soil Conditioner suits
What can you use Gingin Gold Soil Conditioner for?
Compacted ground
Where the soil has gone hard and roots are not getting through it. Organic matter is what opens it back up.
Building an organic base
Beds that have never had anything organic added, which on a new estate block is most of them.
General soil enrichment
All soil types, as a broad improvement rather than a targeted correction.
Before planting
Worked through a bed ahead of planting rather than dressed around plants that are already in.
How much Gingin Gold do you need?
This one is a counter question
No spread rate is published for Gingin Gold anywhere we can find — not on the bag, not on a maker's site. We are not going to put a plausible-looking number on a page in place of one.
What we can give you is the volume arithmetic and an honest offer to work it out with you.
| What you are doing | What we can tell you | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Top dressing a bed | 30 litres is about 1.2m² spread 25mm thick | That is volume arithmetic, not a recommended rate. |
| Working it through a bed | Depends on how bad the soil is | Tell us the bed and what is going in it. We will tell you what we would use. |
| A native bed | Do not | Blood and bone and cow manure are the wrong things for phosphorus-sensitive natives. |
The bag carries a lifting caution of 35.2 to 40kg, which is a lot more than most people expect from something sold in litres. Gloves, a mask if it is dusty, keep it moist while you work, wash your hands.
Why Gingin Gold Soil Conditioner
Why choose Gingin Gold Soil Conditioner?
Three different organic inputs
Blood and bone, fish and seaweed, and cow manure each bring something different. A single-source conditioner cannot do that.
Well composted
The bag's own description. Composted material goes to work rather than tying up nitrogen while it finishes breaking down.
It opens up compacted soil
Restoring air space for roots is half of what a conditioner does, and it is the half people forget when they are thinking about nutrients.
Carries an Australian Standard mark
On the bag. We have not printed which standard because the photograph does not resolve it — ask and we will read it off the pallet for you.

Using Gingin Gold Soil Conditioner
How to use Gingin Gold Soil Conditioner
Work it through the bed
Into the soil rather than sitting on top. A conditioner is being asked to change the soil, and it cannot do that from the surface.
Water it in
Watering settles it and starts the biology. Dry, it does nothing.
Ask us about the rate
No spread rate is published for it anywhere we can find. Tell us the bed and what is going into it and we will tell you what we would use, rather than putting a guessed number on a page.
Mind your back
The bag carries a lifting caution of 35.2 to 40kg. That is a genuinely heavy bag and it is on the packaging for a reason.
When to choose something else
When it is the wrong product
- No spread rate is published for it. We would rather say that than invent one, so this is a counter conversation rather than a number off a web page.
- It contains blood and bone and cow manure, so it is not a native-bed product. Phosphorus-sensitive plants — banksias, grevilleas, hakeas — want something lean instead.
- The bag is heavy. A lifting caution of 35.2 to 40kg is printed on it, which is more than most people expect from something sold in litres.
- It contains micro-organisms. Mask if it is dusty, gloves, keep the material moist while you work with it and wash your hands afterwards.
