This washed 4-10mm horticultural gravel provides a clean, decorative dressing for pots and containers, helps lock in moisture, keeps the soil surface neat and stable, and can also be used in humidity trays.

  • Use in a ventilated place and avoid breathing in dust.
  • Always wear gloves when gardening and wash hands after use.
  • Close bag after use to avoid contamination.
  • The polythene bag containing the product is strong enough to be re-used, for example, as a hanging basket liner.
  • The SylvaGrow packaging has been manufactured using at least 30% post-consumer waste plastic. We are working with our suppliers to increase this level as quickly as we can. The bag is 100% recyclable but check regionally for local recycling options.
