  • How to use:
    - Put on a pair of gloves & crumble compost between your hands to break down any lumps so that it regains its open texture.

    Planting in containers:
    - Potting is best done in the spring, summer or autumn when plants are actively growing
    - Before potting, water plants well & allow to drain away
    - Put fresh compost in the bottom of a new pot
    - Turn the plant upside down & tap the pot sharply to release
    - Place the plant in the middle of the new pot ensuring the root ball is not buried too deep, then add more compost, firming lightly around the root ball
    - Leave a space of at least 1cm below the pot rim to allow adequate space for watering
    - Water the plant well

    Planting in borders:
    - Planting is best done in the spring, summer or autumn when plants are actively growing
    - Before planting, water plants well & allow to drain away
    - Dig a hole at least 4 times the size of the container that plant is growing in
    - Break up the sides of the hole & fill it with the compost leaving an indent for the root ball
    - Turn the plant upside down & tap the pot sharply to release
    - Place the plant in the middle of the hole ensuring the root ball is not buried too deep, then add more compost, firming well around the root-ball with your hands or heel
    - Leave a shallow indent around the plant to hold water, then water the plant well

    Growing on:
    - After 6 weeks feed with ericaceous plant food
    - Hardy plants should be top dressed or re-potted as required

    Handy gardening tips:
    - Store in a dry, frost-free place away from any garden chemicals

  • Health & Safety Advice:
    - Always use this compost in a well-ventilated area, ensuring to avoid breathing in dust.
    - Keep away from children and pets
    - Wear gloves while gardening and wash your hands thoroughly after use.
