Neem Core Peat Brick (650g) – 100% Natural Superior Growing Medium

Neem Core Peat Brick (650g) – 100% Natural Superior Growing Medium

The Neem Core Peat Brick is a high-performance, sustainable growing substrate that combines the moisture-retaining power of premium coco peat with the natural protective benefits of Neem. This 650g compressed brick is a marvel of efficiency, expanding to provide up to 10 liters of fluffy, aerated growing medium when hydrated. 100% natural and Organic/Vegan certified, it is the perfect choice for environmentally conscious gardeners. The inclusion of Neem core within the peat provides a natural deterrent to soil-borne pests and enhances plant vigor, making it a "superior" alternative to traditional potting soils or plain peat moss.

Best For Gardeners looking for a lightweight, eco-friendly, and pest-resistant medium for seed starting, propagation, or improving the quality of indoor and outdoor potting mixes.

Key Features

• Neem-Infused Protection: Contains natural Neem properties known to improve soil health and discourage common soil pests like fungus gnats, providing a safer environment for delicate roots.

• Massive Expansion: A compact 650g brick is easy to store and transport, yet makes up to 10L of usable medium—enough to fill several small pots or a standard seed tray.

• Organic & Vegan Certified: Guaranteed 100% plant-based and free from synthetic chemicals, animal by-products, or peat bog depletion, aligning with ethical gardening practices.

• Superior Water Retention: The coco peat fibers act like a sponge, holding onto moisture while maintaining excellent drainage and aeration to prevent root rot.

• pH Balanced & Low EC: Naturally buffered to be pH neutral, ensuring that nutrients remain readily available to your plants from day one.

Specifications

• Brand: Neem Core

• Weight: 650g (Compressed)

• Yield: Approx. 10 Liters (Hydrated)

• Material: 100% Natural Coco Peat with Neem Core

• Certifications: Organic / Vegan Friendly

Ideal For (Uses)

• Seed Starting & Propagation: The fine, sterile texture provides the ideal environment for tender seedlings and cuttings to establish strong root systems.

• Indoor Houseplants: A clean, soil-less medium that reduces the risk of bringing "hitchhiker" pests into the home while keeping moisture consistent.

• Soil Conditioning: Mix into heavy clay or sandy garden beds to improve soil texture, moisture holding capacity, and microbial activity.

• Hydroponics & Vertical Gardens: Its lightweight nature and high porosity make it an excellent substrate for recirculating systems and hanging planters.

Pro Tip: To hydrate, place the brick in a large bucket and add approximately 4–5 liters of warm water. The warmth helps the fibers expand faster. Once it’s fully fluffed up, give it a quick stir to ensure the Neem core is evenly distributed before planting.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
