When to use
How to use
For containers: Ensure the container has sufficient drainage holes, then fill with compost. Add your chosen plants to the container. Firm lightly around the plants and water thoroughly.
For hanging baskets: Line the basket if necessary and part fill it with compost. Insert plants through sides of the basket where possible to ensure a ball of colour. Fill the basket with compost and arrange plants on the top with trailing ones around the sides. After everything is planted, firm lightly and water thoroughly.
For potting-on plants: Repotting is best done in the spring, when plants are actively growing. Before repotting, water plants well and allow to drain. Put fresh compost in the bottom of a larger pot. To remove the plant, turn upside down, tap the bottom of the plant pot to help release the plant. Gently rub the root ball to make it less compact and tease out the roots, this will make it easier for the plant to establish. Place the plant in the middle of the new pot, add more compost, firm lightly around the plant and water thoroughly.
