It encourages increased grass root activity which will improve the lawns ability to withstand hard wear and drought conditions. The organic matter will also help to maintain an acid balance in the soil which will encourage healthy turf growth and grass to thrive.

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.
