Westland The Gardener’s Multi-Purpose Compost 50L

Westland The Gardener’s Multi-Purpose Compost 50L – All-Round Compost for Pots, Beds and Seeds

A multi-purpose compost is the bag every garden gets through most of, because it does the routine jobs well enough that there is no point buying four specialist products. Seeds, cuttings, potting on, filling containers, improving a planting hole — this covers all of it.

The Gardener's is Westland's large-format, general-purpose mix, and the 50 litre bag is the sensible size if you are doing more than a couple of window boxes. It has an open, free-draining structure that suits containers, and enough body to hold moisture between waterings.

Performance & Benefits

• One compost for seeds, cuttings, potting on and containers
• Open structure drains freely, reducing the risk of waterlogged roots
• Holds moisture well between waterings

How to Use

• Break up any lumps and lightly firm the compost into the pot or tray
• Do not over-firm — compost needs air as well as water
• Water in well after sowing or planting
• Begin liquid feeding once the compost's own nutrients are exhausted
• Reseal the bag between uses to keep the compost from drying out
