Moregro Multi Purpose Compost with added John Innes

Our MoreGro Multipurpose with added John Innes has been formulated with the 50 year old recipe to create a medium for all life stages in plants. With added loam from the John Innes and the fibres present in our peat free range provides an optimum soil structure that encourages root growth and extended plant life. The loam and fibres are a perfect combination for holding nutrients and creates a texture that retains water long enough for plants to access it. The compost drains well and stops roots from sitting in waterlogged soils and prevents rotting that might result in the death of the plant. We have included seaweed and volcanic dust to our product to help add essential micro nutrients such as sulphur and gypsum promoting micro-organism activity and regulation of pH.

John Innes No.1 Compost

Our John Innes No.1 Peat Free compost is made from the 50 year old recipe of loam and horticultural grit combined with bark fines and COIR. It has a peat free formula but the addition of loam gives the young plants a base suited for young plant root development and to allow for the changing nutritional requirements of a growing plant. Whilst our John Innes No.1 Peat Free compost is suitable for a wide range of species, some modifications are required for some specialized plants. For example, calcifuge plants such as Ericas and Rhododendrons should be grown in our John Innes Ericaceous Peat Free compost.
