An EASY video guide to soil improvement
This is for everyone whose garden is a sandbox
I have good news for you: it’s not that hard to turn Perth’s dry, sandy soil into something that is not only passable, but that actually improves year in, year out. And so many nurseries and online brands and ‘garden gurus’ make it way harden than it needs to be in efforts to hock their products. You don’t need a whole heap of special ingredients, you just need consistency, animal manure, organic matter and a good Retic set up. Putting the effort in where it counts will transform your garden and your experience of working in it.
It’s grotty. It smells. It’ll ruin your nails. You’re gonna love it! So follow me, friends, as today I improve the dry, parched soil in a neglected are of my garden.
Ready? OK. Here we go.

Thank you Casey for your very informative video. It's take me quite a while to finally work out that feeding my soil is the key to making gardening in WA easier. Dsatco products have been brilliant and I'll be adding the clay you suggest. Is the Piggypost suitable for native plants too?
Hi Casey, I watched your video on improving your soil. For years I spent a lot of money on wets soil and it really didn’t do a lot.
Followed your instructions and adding clay absolutely works a treat.
Thank you 🙏
