Our Feedback
Just wanted to thank you for the prompt delivery of my fruit trees - beautifully packed - they are planted and getting used to their new home and they had an afternoon of gentle rain to say welcome! Thank you and I hope to visit you again soon.

Supplied as one litre of freshly mixed compost.
This Product is Available Now.We mix our compost as it is required here at the nursery, which ensures it is never more than a week old and so is never 'stale' - unlike composts that are purchased in bulk by garden centres at the beginning of the year and then sit outside in the rain and sun (as soon as the compost is mixed the nutrients added come into contact with moisture and so start to release - and after a few months can either make the compost very rich or leach away to nothing so fresh compost is of great importance).
All our composts are blended from peat (a waste product of the peat fired power stations) and vermiculite - mixed in an Adelphi paddle mixer thus ensuring that the structure of the ingredients are not destroyed, which results in a compost that is both moisture retentive but also free draining with good aeration. Should the compost be accidentally over-watered it will soon drain to reasonable moisture levels; similarly if it is allowed to dry out it will be found to be easy to 'wet up'.
With regard to nutrients, all our compost contain a combination of lime (for pH correction), organic base fertilisers and organic slow release fertiliser. We do not incorporate any compost insecticides or similar.
