Bagged composts and fertilisers.
All
our
composts
and
fertilisers
are
kept
under
cover,
unlike
many
local
garden
centres.
This
means
that
they won’t be overly wet and will be easier to handle.
Richard
Suter,
our
stock
manager,
is
aiming
to
increase
the
range
of
organic
and
sustainable
(such
as
peat
free
composts)
products.
Our
new
stock
includes:
Farmyard
Manure
@
£4.50
and
Peat-free
vegetable compost @£5.50 a bag
A successful EHS Plant Sale at the Hut on 9th May 2021
We
are
having
problems
with
getting
some
items,
for
example
8
ft
canes,
John
Innes
composts
and
growbags.
However we do have:
Various
potting
composts
,
with
and
without
peat,
including
one
which
has
added
John
Innes
compost
(which I take to mean it contains some soil/loam).
Things
to
add
to
compost
to
suit
whatever
you
are
using
it
for.
New
in
is
top
soil
which
is
good
to
add
to
peat-free
composts
to
give
it
more
body
and
water
holding
capacity.
We
also
have
horticultural
sands
and
grits as well as vermiculite and perlite.
Fertilisers.
To
add
to
compost
in
pots
and
hanging
baskets,
the
slow
release
Sincrocell
pellets
are
very
useful
and
easy
to
use.
The
seaweed
based
Maxicrop
is
diluted
and
watered
on,
a
good
choice
for
dry
weather.
Netting
. Different types for different purposes – protection or supporting climbing plants.
And
much
more
!
Do
come
and
have
a
look
round.
We’re
wearing
masks
and
keeping
our
distance,
but
have
eased
up
on
the
number
of
people
allowed
in
the
hut
at
one
time.
Please
bring
cash
or
your
cheque
book.
