TerraCottem Universal was the TerraCottem brand’s original product. Launched in 1993, it has evolved significantly since then, with the current iteration of the product fantastic at enhancing root and plant growth.
Despite the brand adding a number of other excellent products to its portfolio over the years, the TerraCottem Universal soil conditioner remains the go-to product for a whole host of plants and outdoor applications.
A soil conditioner is a specialised product designed to enhance the quality and performance of soil in various applications. It works to improve the soil structure, water retention and nutrient availability leading to healthier, more robust plant growth. Whether you’re a professional gardener or a gardening enthusiast TerraCottem Universal is suitable for you.
TerraCottem Universal is ideal for:
As a leading soil conditioning technology brand, TerraCottem’s ethos perfectly aligns with our own. Here at Inturf, we’re always striving to supply our customers with quality products that also provide an environmental boost. This philosophy can be seen throughout our operations over the last 40 years, with our frequent investment in innovation, state-of-the-art equipment and personnel seeing us constantly evolve and develop – much like the excellent TerraCottem Universal product.
All of our TerraCottem products come in 5 and 10 kilogram tubs for the professional gardener, or the 20 kilogram bags may be more suitable for larger commercial projects. We currently only have the 10kg tubs available to buy online, if you did need another size please get in touch with us.
TerraCottem can be used throughout the year however for the best results we do recommend we recommend mixing it in to your soil during more favourable weather conditions, when it is mainly dry. It is important to store TerraCottem under cover in a cool and dry location.

Immediately after installation, turf should be watered thoroughly, both in the morning and evening, for approximately one hour each time, for a period of 28 days unless there is significant rainfall. Read our blog on ‘Watering newly laid turf’ for more information.
It is recommended to lay the turf as soon as it is delivered, particularly during warmer months, to prevent drying out and ensure successful establishment.
