Can ericaceous compost be used for ‘normal plants’?

Ericaceous compost is specially formulated for acid loving plants such as Rhododendrons, Azaleas and Camellias. These plants need the soil to have a pH of 6 or lower. The added iron in the compost means that other plants that prefer an alkaline soil with a pH above 7 will not thrive in an ericaceous compost, so can eventually become yellow and die. For this reason we recommend that for all non-acid loving plants you should use an All Purpose Compost.
