Product Usage (if you require a compost and topsoil blend - CLICK HERE)

Flower & Vegetable Beds - Apply 25–50mm (1-2 inches) and fork in gently. For poor soil (or beds that have had intensive planting) dig it in to a depth of 150mm (6 inches).

Turf & Lawns - Apply 25-50mm (1-2inches) of compost to the prepared area and dig it in to a depth of 100mm (4 inches). To revitalise your lawn, simply aerate the turf (make holes with a fork) then sprinkle a fine layer of compost on top and rake or brush it in so that the particles get through the grass to the soil.

Hanging Baskets, Potting and Bedding Plants - Mix 1 part compost with 3 parts soil or growing media for best results. Not suitable for ericaceous (acid-loving) plants.

Trees & Shrub Planting - Mix 2 parts soil to 1 part compost and line the base of the hole with 50mm of the soil/compost mix. Place the shrub or sapling in the centre of the hole, back fill with the remainder of the material and firm down.

Not suitable for:

Ericaceous (acid-loving) plants such as heathers, azalea, camellia, rhododendrons etc.
