How to Use
POTS, CONTAINERS & HANGING BASKETS - Choose container with adequate drainage holes. Place layer of grit in container and fill with compost. For hanging baskets, line basket with moss or liner and fill with compost. Plant with trailing plants around the edge and upright plants in the middle. Water well. BEDS & BORDERS - Dig a hole twice the size of root ball diameter and add a layer of compost. Place plant in hole and back fill with compost. Firm compost around plant and water well. POTTING - water plant well and allow to drain. Allow enough space to accommodate roots. Remove from pot and plant in new container, firming the compost gently around the roots. Once fully planted, water well. 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 This compost may not be suitable for fine and difficult to grow seed so we recommend using a dedicated seed sowing compost. SEEDLINGS / PRICKING OUT - prick out seedlings once they are large enough to handle. 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. Water regularly until seedlings are ready for potting-on. TAKING CUTTINGS - Fill a container with compost, firm gently and water. Make sloping cut in stem of cutting, just below a joint, remove all bottom leaves and dip end of the cutting in hormone rooting powder. Make hole in the compost with pencil or dibber. Place cutting into hole and firm compost gently around it. Cover with a polythene bag to prevent drying out and place in a warm spot out of direct sunlight, until cuttings have taken.
