Our Feedback
I’d just like to say how delighted I was with the 10 Lobelia Queen Victoria plants I bought.
My experiences of buying plants through mail-order companies has been regrettable! After each experience I vowed never to do it again... - but where needs must I took another chance and I'm so glad I did!
Because I was only paying £12.00 (plus delivery) for 10 plants, I have to say that I wasn’t exactly expecting a great deal in the way of quality... but how wrong was I! I could not believe how healthy and well established the plants were!
Many thanks,
Pete

Supplied as one litre of freshly mixed compost.
This Product is Available Now.We mix our compost as it is required 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 composts 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.
