Red Soil - 5 KG

Red soil can be a great base for your plants but requires amendment to achieve optimal fertility. The red color is from a high iron oxide content, and while it provides good drainage and aeration, it is typically poor in essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and humus. To make red soil suitable for a wide range of plants, you must incorporate organic matter and balance the pH. 

Benefits of red soil

• Good drainage: The porous, sandy-loamy texture allows for good water drainage, which helps prevent waterlogging and root rot.
• Rich in iron and potassium: The high content of iron oxide gives the soil its signature color and promotes healthy plant growth. Many red soils are also naturally rich in potassium.
• Aeration: Its well-aerated nature is beneficial for root development, allowing roots to expand deeply and absorb more nutrients.
