Tui Worm Farm

Tui Compost is the natural garden ingredient - the staple in every Kiwi shed! Healthy, conditioned soil is essential to get the most from your plants.

Tui Compost adds nutrient-rich organic matter to replenish your soil with nutrients used during the growing season. The combination of organic matter, blood and bone and gypsum will: help break up heavy or clay soil; improve drainage in compacted soil; and increase water holding capacity in sandy soil. It also increases microbial activity, and encourages earthworms - a gardener's best friend!

Limes are an essential ingredient in South-East Asian, Mexican, Latin American and Caribbean cooking, they also go well with a Corona beer. Limes grow well in New Zealand, provided they aren’t subjected to any extreme cold weather.
