One investment. Two ways to give your garden more.

Great gardens begin beneath the surface.

Whether your garden is already full of plants or you're starting with bare ground, healthy soil is the foundation. NutriChar helps you invest in the growing conditions your garden will depend on for years to come.

Established garden with richly planted borders

FOR ESTABLISHED GARDENS

The best winter present for the garden you already love.

Your plants have been growing in the same soil all year. Winter is a wonderful opportunity to give something back, without digging up the beds you've spent years creating.

Spread loose NutriChar as a top dressing over accessible soil between established plants. Over time, rain, soil organisms and normal garden activity can help bring it into contact with the soil beneath.

Feed the soil as well as the plants
Support nutrient and moisture retention
Prepare beds ahead of spring growth
Work around existing planting without major disturbance

A little winter attention, with benefits that can extend beyond one season.

New garden planting layout with plants positioned before planting

FOR NEW GARDENS

Before you invest in plants, invest in the soil.

It's easy to spend thousands on trees, hedges, shrubs and flowers. But even the finest plants depend on the ground they're planted into.

Loose NutriChar can be incorporated into prepared beds before planting, helping to improve the soil's ability to retain nutrients and moisture and creating a better starting environment for new roots.

Build soil care into your garden from day one
Prepare planting beds before trees and shrubs go in
Support better use of water and nutrients
Make soil preparation part of the garden investment

The most important part of your new garden may be the part you never see.

Don't just invest in what grows above ground.

Give the soil beneath your garden the attention it deserves. A 500kg bulk bag treats approximately 500m² at an application rate of 1kg/m².

Why choose loose NutriChar?

All the goodness.
None of the pellets.

Our 500kg bulk NutriChar is supplied loose and unpelletised, making it particularly practical for preparing large planting areas and spreading over established garden beds. It's ready to come into contact with your soil without first needing a pellet to break apart.

01

Ready to spread

Apply as a surface dressing around established plants, or distribute across beds before planting. No pellet breakdown is needed before the material makes contact with the soil.

02

Ideal for soil preparation

The loose texture is easy to incorporate into the upper soil layers when preparing new borders, hedges and planting areas, helping distribute the material through the growing zone.

03

More than a plant feed

NutriChar combines biochar with composted organic poultry manure using a patented process, bringing organic nutrients and biochar's soil-improving properties together.

Invest in the soil beneath your garden.

Whether you're improving existing beds or starting a new garden, bulk NutriChar lets you work at scale. A 500kg bag covers approximately 500m² at an application rate of 1kg/m².

The loose form allows immediate soil contact, but changes in soil condition develop over time and depend on soil type, weather and management. Apply on suitable ground and avoid runoff into waterways.

The value beneath your feet

A bigger investment in the soil. A better foundation for your garden.

Before you spend money on more plants, think about the ground they'll grow in. One 500kg bulk bag of NutriChar can treat approximately 500m² at an application rate of 1kg per square metre.

Delivery & frequently asked questions

A 500kg investment in your garden deserves clear answers. Here is what to know about the product, applying it and arranging delivery.

500kgLoose, unpelletised NutriChar

500m²Estimated coverage at 1kg per m²

€900Price includes nationwide delivery, subject to delivery eligibility

How will my 500kg bag be delivered?

NutriChar is supplied in a 500kg bulk bag and delivered by freight. Delivery is included in the advertised price for eligible addresses in Ireland. We will confirm practical delivery arrangements and any access requirements before dispatch.

Do I need special access for delivery?

A 500kg bulk bag is a substantial delivery. We will contact you to discuss arrangements before dispatch.

Is this the same as the pelletised NutriChar?

This is NutriChar in loose, unpelletised form, intended for broad soil application and incorporation before planting. It does not need pellets to break down before the material can be mixed into the soil. Soil improvements still develop over time.

Can I use it on an established garden over winter?

Yes. Apply as a top dressing to suitable beds and around established plants, keeping material away from stems and crowns. Avoid application when the ground is frozen, saturated or waterlogged, or where heavy rain could wash material into drains or waterways.

Is it suitable for a new garden?

Yes. Soil preparation is an excellent time to incorporate NutriChar into planting beds before trees, shrubs, hedges and perennials go in. Prepare the soil to suit the plants and site conditions, rather than relying on any single amendment to correct drainage or compaction problems.

How much ground does one bag cover?

At an application rate of 1kg per square metre, a 500kg bag covers approximately 500m². Actual quantities depend on the area being treated and how evenly the material is applied.

Will I see results straight away?

The loose material can be spread or incorporated immediately, but improvements in soil condition and plant performance are not instant. Results depend on existing soil, weather, planting and ongoing garden care.

Is NutriChar made in Ireland?

Yes. NutriChar is an Irish-developed, certified-organic plant food and soil improver combining biochar with composted poultry manure through a patented process.
