Troubleshooting

Plants appear to be drying out too quickly

Ensure you are watering deeply enough to reach the root zone and consider adding a mulch layer to the surface to reduce evaporation.

Nutrient deficiency symptoms appearing before 6 months

Check if the pot has proper drainage, as excessive leaching of nutrients can occur if plants are overwatered.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sustainable, peat-free formulation
  • Versatile use for indoor and outdoor plants

Cons

  • May require more frequent monitoring for moisture than peat-based products
  • Large 40L bags can be heavy to transport
  • Not suitable for plants requiring highly specific acidic soil conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure your planting area is clear of weeds before adding the compost. When filling containers, leave a small gap at the top to allow for easier watering without overflow. If using outdoors in borders, mix the compost thoroughly with the existing soil to encourage root extension into the surrounding area. Since this is a peat-free blend, it is recommended to check the moisture level of the top inch of soil regularly; if it feels dry to the touch, apply water until you see drainage at the base of the container. Store unused compost in a cool, dry place and ensure the bag is sealed tightly to maintain the moisture content and nutritional integrity of the substrate.
