Guidance on How to Use
- Can be used everywhere in the garden as a planting compost.
- Use straight from the bag.
- Can be used at any time of the year.
Planters, Tubs and Window Boxes
Fill containers to 25 - 50mm from the rim, ensuring that drainage holes are not blocked. Plant as required and water.
Maintenance and Feeding
Four to five weeks after potting, use a liquid nutrient feed every 14 days during the growing season.
Re-Potting
Fill pots 10mm from the rim - this allows for watering. Do not allow plants or compost to dry out.
Sowing Seeds
Fill trays with compost, water well and drain. Sow seeds individuall and evenly over the compost - cover with a very thin layer of compost (Leave Petunia and Lobelia uncovered). Only prick-out when the seedlings are large enough to handle.
Pricking Out
Fill pots and containers with compost, but do not water. Make a plant hole with a finger or plant dibber. Place a seedling into each hole and firm down gently. Water thoroughly and make sure that you do not allow the compost to dry out.
