Colin Mackay (Mackay AG Contracting) Horticulture Reference

Colin MacKay, owner of MacKay AG Contracting and a vineyard in Marlborough, uses many of Wholesale Landscapes' products. Since 2015, Colin has been applying Hortgro Compost, Ocean Shell Standard, and Bark fines to his own blocks, and also clients of his agricultural services.

As caretakers of the land, we need to replenish what the plant has taken out. We get good weed suppression from it, and we get the nutrients coming out.
