Description

A peat-free vegetable mix for the range of garden centres and resellers, and for landscapers building vegetable planters and raised beds. A blend of fine coir, wood fibre and bark, with clay for extra buffering and an organic fertiliser that keeps working for longer than a mineral starter dose alone.

The pH is slightly higher than in potting mix, to suit most vegetable crops. Acid-loving crops such as blueberry need a different substrate.

  • Peat-free
  • Organic fertiliser plus a small mineral starter dose
  • pH 6.0-6.8 (indicative)
  • 40 or 70-litre bag, available by the pallet
  • Also available as private label, on request
