Permanent fix for hydrophobic soils

Is your soil sandy, dry and repelling water no matter how much you water? Coastal Cure converts problem sand into living soil — permanently. Unlike liquid wetting agents that wash away, this is a one-time structural fix that bonds with your soil particles and stays.

  • Creates a matrix that holds water and nutrients exactly where plant roots need them
  • Utilises leonardite to form strong permanent bonds with existing soil particles
  • Establishes microscopic reservoirs that improve soil structure long-term
  • Drastically reduces water consumption by improving moisture retention

Not a temporary fix — a permanent transformation. Apply once and your soil works differently from that day forward.

What makes it different
Most wetting agents are liquid treatments that improve water penetration temporarily — they wash through and need reapplying. Coastal Cure works differently. Its leonardite base physically bonds with sand particles and restructures the soil at a microscopic level, creating permanent reservoirs that hold water and nutrients exactly where roots need them. Apply it once and your soil is fundamentally changed.

Why it works
Leonardite is a pre-coal material almost pure in carbon, very high in humic and fulvic acids. When incorporated into sandy soil it forms strong, lasting bonds with existing soil particles — building structure that improves water retention, enhances nutrient uptake efficiency and promotes stronger root development. The amorphous silica and bentonite clay work alongside it to further improve the soil matrix and moisture holding capacity. Environmentally friendly, sustainable and simple to apply.

Ingredients
Leonardite — pulverised pre-coal material, very high in humic and fulvic acids, almost pure carbon. Stimulates microbial activity and bonds permanently with soil particles.
Amorphous Silica — improves soil matrix and moisture holding capacity.
Bentonite Clay — high cation exchange capacity, holds water and builds structure.
Certified organic by Southern Cross.

Best paired with
Coastal Cure does the permanent structural work. Follow up with Jurassic Juice as your ongoing seasonal maintenance — keeping your soil microbiome active and continuing to unlock nutrients in your newly transformed soil.

Coastal Cure must be dug or incorporated into the soil — not top dressed. It needs direct contact with soil particles to form its permanent bonds.

When to apply
Before lawn installation or at lawn coring, when preparing new garden beds, and mixed into the planting hole for trees and shrubs. Can also be incorporated into existing garden beds when digging over or replanting.

How to apply
Incorporate into the top 100–200 mm of soil. Water in well after application.

Application rates
General sandy soils — 500 g to 1 kg per m²
Severe hydrophobic sand — 2 to 3 kg per m²
Pots & containers — 1–2 cups per 20 L of potting mix

Organic Coastal Cure soil amendment to fix hydrophobic soil long-term

Amends the Soil - turns sand into soil permanently

Transform your challenging sandy soils into fertile, water-retentive growing environments with Coastal Cure—the revolutionary organic solution specifically formulated to address hydrophobic sandy soil conditions.

  • Acts as a natural magnet for nutrients
  • Enhances the effectiveness of additional fertilisers and biostimulants
  • Promotes healthier root development and plant growth
  • Reduces water consumption by improving moisture retention
