Alpine gold pot topper and mulch

This honey gold grit is ideal to keep on hand for topping off pots and containers. The small stones prevent crusting over so water can soak through to the compost, and keep moisture in by slowing evaporation. They also help keep leaves clean by reducing compost splashes when watering.

It’s handy for potting up too - mix some into compost to improve drainage, or use it as a layer in the bottom of pots before planting, making sure there are drainage holes for excess water to escape.
