Whether you’re interested in growing fresh kale from balcony planters, pick-your-own coriander from a window box or organic ingredients from garden beds, the foundation of delicious homegrown vegies, herbs and fruit is rich, nourishing soil and potting mix. And this is the season to get it sorted. With the harsh heat of summer over but soil still holding onto its warmth, autumn is the perfect time to establish a thriving garden.
Soil care might be crucial, but it isn’t complicated. The Yates range covers all needs with no-fuss, proven products tailored to vegies, herbs and fruit, whether in pots or garden beds, indoors or out. Simply follow a three-step routine:
Start with Yates Potting Mix with Dynamic Lifter, a general-purpose mix for most indoor and outdoor plants, enhanced with organic fertiliser and trace elements for boosted plant performance.
Yates Dynamic Lifter Organic Soil Improver & Plant Fertiliser suits all plants and comes in easy-to-apply pellet or liquid concentrate form. (The liquid’s dual-action formula feeds through both leaves and roots for faster results.) It maximises your harvest with slow-release nutrients, and improves the soil’s structure and moisture retention, encouraging microorganisms and earthworms. Use the concentrate until plants are established; after six weeks, use the pellets for a top-up feed.
Yates Thrive Natural Pelletised Plant Food creates an environment akin to an all-day cafe for your plants, supercharging them with sustenance and fast-acting fertilisers. Choose between Citrus & Fruit and Vegie & Herb versions, depending on what you’re growing. Then, sit back and start planning what you’re going to cook with your feast of produce. There’s nothing like the taste of homegrown!
Some products are not available at all Bunnings stores, but may be ordered.

Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
When following our advice in our D.I.Y. videos, make sure you use all equipment, including PPE, safely by following the manufacturer’s instructions.
