GDL uses natural composting methods to stabilise our bark products, thereby minimising nitrogen drawdown from plants and promoting healthy green foliage and vigorous growth. Rather than using chemicals to accelerate this process, we take pride in offering products that are eco-friendly. 

Our raw materials come from sustainable pinus radiata forests in New Zealand’s North Island. Our aged sawdust is locally sourced from the South Waikato. 

After testing our organic base products, we worked closely with scientists to create a special mix of eco-friendly fertiliser and nutrients to create the perfect symbiotic growing environment. To boost our Growers Compost and Garden Mix, we add organic sterilised sheep pellets and utilise our own naturally composted, nitrogen-stabilised premium organic bark fines. The fertiliser, nutrients and trace elements utilised have been specially formulated for OrganicGold Growing Media™, are eco-friendly, sustainable, and environmentally responsible, utilising natural polymer coatings for sustained release (3-12 months), and BioGro and Fertmark Registered products. And to top it all off, our premium organic bark fines, due to their quality and composition, actively encourage the growth and activity of mycorrhizal fungi. This, in turn, leads to a healthy plant-soil symbiosis, where plants can better absorb nutrients and water, and leads to improved growth and resilience. 

Anybody. We are a commercial wholesaler however and therefore deal in truck or truck & trailer units only. 

Depending on the product weight and time of the year, a truck can hold around 18m3 of Growers Compost and 28m3 of Landscape Mulch as examples. A truck & trailer can be anywhere from approximately 50 to 95 cubic meters at one time relative to the product. We do require good solid ground for a 28 tonne plus truck & trailer unit to be able to safely turn around and tip off.  

We will deliver loads of this size to any person who is willing to open an account with us by completing our credit application, we do not request a minimum spend to open an account, you’re welcome to just take one load if that’s all you need, and you don’t have to be a commercial business. 

For smaller quantities (less than 15m3) please contact us and we will put you in touch with a landscape yard in your area that supplies GDLs OrganicGold products. 

Please note that we are a secure site that is not open to the public.  

Yes, you can. You will just need to complete our credit application to set up your account, tell us when you are coming and what product(s) you are after. 

On your first visit we will scan you empty into our Loadscan system so that when loaded you can scan out, you will then be remembered in the system and can collect more loads in the future. 

We only charge for the cubic meters that are loaded from the scan docket.  

Our team are available to help with this set-up. 

For smaller quantities (under 15m3) please contact us and we will put you in touch with a landscape yard in your area that supplies GDLs OrganicGold products. 

Please note that we are a secure site that is not open to the public. 

• Store bags or bulk supplies of any garden soil, compost, mulch, or garden mixes in a cool place, out of the sun, preferably sheltered from the rain.
• If you store in containers, including bulk bins, label these containers.
• Wear gloves and wash your hands well after handling.
• Avoid opening bags in enclosed areas – open bags slowly, directing the opening away from the face to avoid inhaling the mix.
• Dampen garden mixes and other organic material before use to reduce dust- use a water mist bottle or a low-pressure hose with a gentle spray.

This depends on the product weight and time of the year. For example, a truck can hold around 18m3 of Growers Compost and 28m3 of Landscape Mulch. A truck & trailer can be anywhere from 50 to 95 cubic meters at one time. We do require good solid ground for a 28 tonne plus truck & trailer unit to be able to safely turn around and tip off.  

Freight costs are dependent on your location, please contact us for a quote providing your delivery address, the product(s) you are interested in and the amount you need. Depending on your location and the quantity we will either deliver this ourselves or provide a quote from our contract freight companies. We do not mark-up freight quotes from our contractors, we simply pass the cost straight on to you in one invoice from GDL.

Square meters = length x width

Cubic meters = length x width x depth

For your reference, a Garden Mix is recommended to be used on the top 20cm (200mm) of a garden bed at the least and a mulch should be laid at least 10cm (100mm) thick.

Garden Mix Example:

Area: 10m x 15m = 150m2

Garden Mix required: 10m x 15m x 0.2 (200mm) = 30m3

Mulch Example:

Area: 10m x 15m = 150m2

Mulch required: 10m x 15m x 0.1 (100mm) = 15m3
