Moregro All Purpose Compost

Our More grow peat free compost is primarily made of bio fibre and wood fibre which provides the optimum structure for plant roots to grow and allows plants to thrive. Our fibres are by-products of sustainably managed forests showing our impact on climate change. The compost is also mixed with seaweed and volcanic dust adding essential nutrients such as sulphur to regulate the pH of the soil and gypsum. By adding seaweed it increases the level of nitrogen and potash in the soil which stimulates seed germination and enhanced nutrient and water uptake. Our MoreGrow is suitable for all plants except Calcifuges with added wetting agent for water retention and an optimum pH of 5.5-6.
