Understanding Ericaceous Compost
Understanding ericaceous compost is key to supporting acid-loving plants such as rhododendrons, azaleas, and camellias. Meeting their specific needs ensures healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
Tips for Using Peat Free Compost
Peat-free compost looks, feels, and smells different from peat, and your plants may respond differently to it. You can adapt your growing methods to better suit peat-free composts.
The Best Compost for Sowing Seeds
Starting plants from seed is rewarding but needs the right medium. Unlike general purpose compost, sowing blends are fine-textured and low in nutrients to support healthy germination and root growth.
Composts for Pots and Containers
When it comes to growing in pots and containers, choosing the right compost is key to keeping your plants healthy, thriving, and producing beautiful blooms or bountiful harvests all season long.

Planting spring and summer-flowering bulbs will ensure that your garden is a riot of colour next season. All you need to do is get bulbs into the ground ahead of winter, then sit back and wait.
