Neem Core Peat Brick (5kg) – 100% Natural Superior Growing Medium

The CP625 Neem Core Peat Brick is the professional-sized, bulk version of our premium sustainable substrate. This substantial 5kg compressed block expands to an incredible 70 liters of high-quality growing medium once hydrated. Combining the moisture-management excellence of coco peat with the botanical benefits of Neem, this medium is 100% natural and Organic/Vegan certified. It provides an ideal, soil-less environment that is naturally resistant to common pests, making it a superior choice for large-scale gardening projects, raised beds, and extensive indoor plant collections.

Best For Serious gardeners, landscapers, and "plant parents" with large collections who require a bulk, eco-friendly medium that promotes plant health while deterring soil-borne insects.

Key Features

• Exceptional Bulk Value: A single 5kg block yields approximately 70L of fluffy substrate, enough to fill several large patio planters or a standard raised garden bed.

• Natural Pest Deterrence: The integrated Neem core provides a gentle, systemic defense against soil pests like fungus gnats and root aphids without the use of harsh synthetic pesticides.

• Elite Moisture Retention: Its unique fibrous structure holds up to 8x its weight in water, significantly reducing the frequency of watering while maintaining essential oxygen levels for roots.

• Eco-Conscious & Sustainable: Made from renewable coconut husks and plant-based Neem, this medium is Vegan-friendly and a peat-bog-safe alternative to traditional moss peat.

• Optimized Aeration: Unlike heavy topsoils, this medium resists compaction, ensuring that air can always reach the root zone for faster growth and healthier plants.

Ideal For (Uses)

• Large-Scale Potting: The most cost-effective way to repot an entire indoor jungle or set up a balcony garden with high-quality, lightweight "soil."

• Raised Garden Beds: Provides a sterile, nutrient-receptive base for vegetables and flowers, ensuring they start in a pest-free environment.

• Improving Garden Soil: Use as a bulk soil conditioner to break up heavy clay or add water-holding capacity to sandy coastal soils.

• Greenhouse Propagation: An excellent medium for striking cuttings or starting bulk seeds, where moisture consistency and hygiene are paramount.

Pro Tip: Due to the size of this block, it is best to hydrate it in a large wheelbarrow or a heavy-duty storage tub. Add approximately 20–25 liters of water and allow it to sit for 30 minutes. If you don't need the full 70L at once, you can saw the dry block into smaller sections to hydrate as needed.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Available options include:

✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
