I started ordering during the lockdown and continued afterward because the service is excellent. I had sciaridae in all my 15 indoor plants. I put 1 cm sand on every plant 3 days after no insect anymore.
As always, speedy delivery and service second to none. Five stars! Will be coming here again and again.
I'm happy with my purchase as I needed this sand to make my soil for the cactus plants. Hopefully it will help them to live healthy and strong.
both bags were burst but lucky there was an outer bag [STAFF NOTE] Unfortunately once we hand over an order to any delivery service, it is out of our hands but as you have seen, we do make an effort to try and anticipate any courier boo-hoos and in this case, we double-bagged just in case
Good quality, good price and was delivery quick. cant say much miore than that really
Great product, it's really good to be able to order horticultural sand from your website, it was hard for me to get a hold of it in garden centres, strangely enough. I hope you continue to stock it.
