LANDSCAPE PACKAGE 2

Application: Assessment of Disturbed, Contaminated, Recycled or Manufactured Soils

Landscape Package 2 (LP 2) is suitable for assessing the quality and fertility of disturbed, recycled or manufactured soils intended for general landscaping purposes, especially for sites where limited public access is expected. It includes phytotoxic elements (those specifically toxic to plants given in the Department of the Environment publication ICRCL 59/83 - Guidance on the Assessment and Redevelopment of Contaminated Land) and other parameters necessary to determine whether the soil will support healthy plant growth. The package may be used to assess compliance with the requirements of a landscape architects soil specification or the Voelcker standard.
