Product Information
Homeland Multi-Purpose Compost offers the best planting conditions making it ideal for use all around the garden. 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.
Instructions for use: First put on a pair of gloves and rework the compost between your hands, so it regains its intended texture.
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.
- Place in warm spot out of direct sunlight until seeds have germinated.
- Remove glass/polythene and keep moist until seedlings are ready for pricking out.
NB – The open structure and nutrient content of this compost may not be suitable for small, fine and difficult to germinate seeds. We always recommend using a dedicated seed sowing compost.
SEEDLINGS / PRICKING OUT:
- Prick out seedlings once they are large enough to handle.
