Melcourt Horticultural Potting Grit – Washed & Lime-Free (20kg)

Melcourt Horticultural Potting Grit – Washed & Lime-Free (20kg) is the UK-made solution for consistently better drainage and aeration in container growing. Sourced in the United Kingdom and washed to remove fines, this lime-free grit won’t alter soil pH, making it the ideal companion for alpines, cacti, succulents, and Mediterranean plants that demand free-draining conditions.

Designed to transform how you grow in pots, this professional-grade grit enhances porosity in your compost, creating air pockets that support vigorous root development and reduce the risk of waterlogging and root rot. With a uniform grit size, you can rely on predictable mixing results whether you’re boosting existing soil or topping containers for a polished, decorative finish.
