Nature’s Soil Wetter isn’t just a soil additive; it’s a natural water management solution designed to transform hydrophobic, compacted, or nutrient-poor soils into living, fertile environments.
Made from 100% natural ingredients, including plant-derived surfactants, botanical extracts, and over 70 trace minerals, this granular blend helps soils absorb, hold, and distribute water evenly, while also feeding microbes, detoxifying residues, and stimulating root growth. Perfect for lawns, gardens, crops, potting mixes, and environmentally sensitive areas.

Nature’s Soil Wetter improves water distribution and retention in hydrophobic soils. It can be used in potting mixes, turf, lawns, golf greens, gardens, crops, fruit trees, and environmentally sensitive areas.
Yes. It is non-toxic, derived from 100% natural materials, and safe to use on lawns, vegetables, fruit trees, natives, and ornamentals. It contains no petrochemicals, phosphates, or harsh solvents.
Yes. It is an excellent additive for soilless mixes such as bark, peat, coco fibre, and pumice. It aids water retention, improves drainage, and enhances fertiliser efficiency. It can be incorporated at rates between 0.3–1.0 kg/m³ depending on the mix, or top dressed at 0.5–1.0 g/L.
Apply as a top-dress to dry turf using a spreader. Recommended rates are 1.5 kg/100 m² for greens and tees (reapply every 1–2 months), 2 kg/100 m² for fairways and sports fields (every 2–3 months), and 1.5–2 kg/100 m² for parks, reserves, and home lawns (every 3–6 months).
Yes. Apply directly under the dripline of trees or across soil surfaces. Typical rates are 1.5–2 kg/100 m², with reapplications every 1–3 months depending on crop type and soil quality. It improves root growth, nutrient retention, and soil structure.
Yes. It improves water penetration in hydrophobic sands and clays, buffers soil pH, binds salts, reduces toxic residues and heavy metals, and supports beneficial soil microbes. It also helps stabilise nitrogen and extend fertiliser efficiency.
The natural granules provide both immediate and long-term benefits. Depending on soil type and conditions, one application can last 1–3 months before reapplication is required for best results.
Watering-in is not essential, but light irrigation after application ensures optimal activation and reduces the risk of granules sitting dry on the surface.
Yes. It is made from natural surfactants, botanical extracts, and minerals. It contains no petrochemicals, making it safe for sensitive areas, waterways, and all soil types.
Yes. It enhances the efficiency of fertilisers, fungicides, and other crop protection products by improving nutrient exchange and water movement in the soil. Always test compatibility before large-scale application.

First time owning lawn. Gave the team at plant doctor a ring and they supplied me with a wealth of information. Products turned up quickly.
Will definitely be getting more 8 weeks difference been using stimulizer, activ8mate, soil wetter, seaweed secrets and champion fertiliser. Was super fast delivery.
Only have great things to say about Plant Doctor. Organic products and a competitive price, fast shipping and easy to contact with questions. Have had great results with the special mix for lawns, and my plants (indoor and outdoor) love the seaweed secrets. I am excited to test out some of the animal products soon!
