Suregreen Melcourt Horticultural Coarse Grit, 20kg Bag, Washed Aggregate

This is excellent product. It is perfect to open up the claggy soil. With new compost and grit improving my borders, I am confident next Spring the soil will be lighter and more healthy. Thank you.

Grit just right for the garden. Good size bag for the price. Will use as squirrel deterrent and for drainage in window boxes especially. Very pleased with quick and free shipping.

Just as described

good sizes of grit, do not understand why anything smaller would be preferred, helps to keep soil from clumping and gives good drainage to pots, in our case a large olive tree.

Keep snails and slugs of plants ! Love this so much ,and great price

I purchased the Melcourt Horticultural Coarse Grit based on a recommendation from The Good Food Kitchen on Bluesky Social. I used it to improve the drainage of an asparagus bed I'm establishing in clay-heavy soil. Combined with horticultural sand, this grit has significantly enhanced soil structure, which promotes better root development and overall plant health. The product itself is of high quality: washed, lime-free, and with a consistent 2–6mm particle size, making it ideal for improving drainage in heavy soils. However, my experience was marred by the packaging. The bag arrived completely broken, with a significant amount of grit spilled out before it reached me. This issue has been noted in previous reviews, and it's disappointing that the seller, Suregreen, hasn't addressed this recurring problem. The price is also a concern. This purchase was hugely expensive, almost twice Melcourt’s recommended price, which makes it difficult to justify buying regularly, especially when alternative suppliers offer similar quality at a lower cost. Given the quality of the product, I would recommend it for improving soil drainage. However, due to the packaging issues and high price, I would advise purchasing from a different seller or opting for an in-store purchase to ensure the product arrives intact.

Useful to get a heavy item delivered. Initially only one item delivered so contacted supplier to notify them not a full delivery. Supplier responded quickly and reassured me that if second item wasn’t delivered in next few days (which it was) they would assist to sort the issue. Will buy again.

Did the job I required ie opened up the compost for some Well drained growing medium
