The Gardener's Multi-Purpose Compost contains the following key ingredients:
This compost contains higher levels of peat for a better, more consistent growing medium with improved moisture and nutrient retention. It offers the ideal balance between air and water holding, making it the perfect environment for healthy root growth.
The nutrient guide gives an indication of the level of nutrients in compost.
The Gardener's Multi-Purpose Compost sits in the 5/6 range providing a medium-high level of balanced nutrients sufficient to feed plants for up to 4-5 weeks after planting.
pH is the measure of acidity of the compost.
A pH that is too low or too high will result in reduced nutrient uptake.
This compost has the optimum pH to ensure that the correct amount of nutrients are freely available for plant uptake.

It has been enriched with nutrients that will feed your plants for up to 4-5 weeks. It is also easier to re-wet and will hold onto moisture, giving excellent growing results.

4 Sowing Seeds
Fill seed tray evenly with compost, firm gently and water.
Sow seeds following seed pack instructions and cover tray with glass/polythene to prevent drying out.

Hold seedling by the leaves to avoid damage and gently tease the roots from the compost, using a dibber or pencil.
Plant seedlings well apart to allow for growth.
