Aussie Organics Garden Soil
A bag you can plant straight into.

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 Aussie Organics Garden Soil suits
What can you use Aussie Organics Garden Soil for?
Filling a raised bed or planter
Ready to plant into as it comes out of the bag, with no blending step and nothing to wait for.
Planting trees and shrubs
Backfill the hole with it, or mix it half and half with what came out, so the roots have something to move into.
Vegetable and flower beds
Named on the pack for vegetables, flowers and ornamentals. A bag or two lifts a small bed before planting.
Reviving tired ground
Dug through an existing bed it puts back the structure and the organic matter that a few seasons of Perth summer take out.
How many bags?
25 litres, and what that covers
Bags are a volume, so the sum is area times depth. The rows below are that arithmetic — Aussie Organics do not publish a coverage figure and we are not going to invent one.
The honest warning is that bags add up fast. Past about eight of them, bulk soil by the cubic metre costs less and saves the lifting.
| Job | Depth | What a 25 litre bag does |
|---|---|---|
| Topping up a bed | 25mm | About one square metre. |
| Improving before planting | 50mm | About half a square metre. |
| Filling a raised bed | Full depth | Forty bags to the cubic metre — ask about bulk instead. |
| Backfilling a tree | Half and half | One bag mixed with the soil from the hole. |
One cubic metre is forty of these bags. If your sum is heading past a trailer load, talk to us about bulk soil delivered.
Aussie Organics Garden Soil in Perth
In Perth sand
A bag of good soil dropped into pure sand does not stay good soil for long. Water moves straight down through sand and takes the fine organic matter with it, so a single application improves a bed for a season rather than for good.
The fix is to keep at it, or to change what the sand can hold. Compost and conditioner each year is the keeping-at-it version; a clay such as bentonite or Soil Solver is the permanent one, and the two together is what actually works.
Why Aussie Organics Garden Soil
Why choose Aussie Organics Garden Soil?
No blending, no waiting
It is a finished soil, not an ingredient. Open the bag, fill the bed, plant into it.
It does two jobs
Fill with it or improve with it. Most bagged products only do one of those, which is why people end up buying two.
Compost carries the nutrition
Composted material rather than a fertiliser dose, so it feeds slowly and builds the soil while it does it.
A car boot quantity
25 litres, for the jobs where a cubic metre in the driveway would be absurd. When it stops being absurd, the bulk soils are cheaper.

Using Aussie Organics Garden Soil
How to use Aussie Organics Garden Soil
Filling: use it neat
In a raised bed or a planter, fill and plant. Leave 50mm below the rim so you can mulch on top without it spilling over the edge.
Improving: dig it through the top 150mm
Spread it over the bed and turn it in. Left sitting on the surface it dries out and does nothing for the roots below it.
Planting a tree: half and half
Mix it with the soil that came out of the hole rather than backfilling with it neat. A pocket of rich soil in poor ground encourages roots to circle instead of spreading.
Water it in, then mulch
Water settles it around the roots and mulch keeps it from drying out. In Perth sand that second step is not optional.
When to choose something else
When it is the wrong product
- It is a general garden soil, not a native mix. For natives and acid-loving plants such as azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons, ask for something lower in phosphorus.
- Aussie Organics publish no spread rate. The figure on this page is arithmetic on 25 litres at a stated depth, and the counter is a better answer for anything specific.
- Bulk garden soil is a different blend to this bag. If you are ordering by the cubic metre, ask which one suits the job rather than assuming it is the same thing.
- The pack carries a health warning: garden soils contain micro-organisms that may be harmful. Gloves, keep it moist while you work, do not breathe it in, wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.
