How to use
Our John Innes No.1 compost is ideal for all young plants. It has been specially developed, with a unique combination of 14 vital minerals for maintaining plant growth and health. With its traditional mix of loam and grit, it is a great start for your plants. Use straight from the bag it’s as easy as that.
We strongly recommend using Levington Ericaceous compost for acid loving plants like Azaleas, Rhododendrons or Heathers.
For picking out seedlings: Loosely fill the tray or pot with Levington Peat Free John Innes No.1 compost and level. Use a dibber or small fork to loosen the compost beneath the seedling. Holding the seedling by a seed leaf, ease the seedling out of its compost keeping as much of the original compost sticking to the roots as possible. Make a hole in the new compost and place the roots of the seedling in the hole. Gently firm the compost around the plant, spacing out the seedlings evenly. Water gently with a fine rose to settle the compost around the roots. Keep in a warm, shaded spot protected from frost.
For potting-on rooting cuttings: Add a layer of Levington Peat Free John Innes No.1 compost to the bottom of the new pots or tray cells. Position the rooted cutting into the pot and top up with fresh compost around the roots. Water gently and keep in a warm, shaded spot protected from frost.
Where To Use
Ideal for all young plants and root cuttings.
Do not cover hairy-leaved plants like geraniums and saintpaulia.
When To Use
- All year around
Coverage
- Fills 6 standard seed trays 34cm × 21cm.
- Fills 25 small pots 12cm (5").
- Fills 5 medium pots 22cm (9").
Cautions
- Always wear gloves when gardening.
- Use in a well-ventilated place and avoid breathing in dust.
- Wash hands after use.
- Store in a cool place, away from the sun.
- Open the bag carefully and reseal after use.
Useful Tips
- Peat free will look and feel different. We recommend that you check before watering using the ‘finger test’. Pop your finger about 3 cm into the compost. If it is dry, get watering, if not, wait a bit longer
- Try to avoid compost in pots drying out, and don’t let them sit in water either, roots don’t like being waterlogged!
- Sometimes you might see some white mould on your compost. This is not harmful to your plants and will disappear naturally.
