Premium Fungal Compost

SIGNATURE PRODUCT RANGE

$79.00

Living Soil Biology - 25L Bag

What it is

Fungal Compost is a mature compost enriched with beneficial fungi. After the initial composting phase, the material undergoes a specialised fungal curing process where naturally occurring fungi colonise the compost and create a rich, biologically active soil amendment.

Healthy soils depend on fungi. Fungal networks help plants access nutrients, improve soil structure, and support long-term soil health. This compost acts as a powerful biological inoculant for soils that lack microbial life.

  • Garden bed preparation

Typical use rates:
