Western Heavy Soil Mix

Developed for brigalow country

  • Suited to heavy brigalow melon hole country or high clay content brigalow country
  • Handles the water logging of the melon holes
  • Creates high protein as well as being tap root which will create and return nitrogen to the soil

Developed for medium to heavy textured clay soils such as brigalow clays, open downs and heavier alluvial soils. This mix contains species that are tolerant of sodic and alkaline soil conditions commonly found in heavy soil types. The productivity of Tolgar Rhodes® combined with the production output from Biloela and Bambatsii adaptation abilities to soil type, help further bolster this tropical mix.
