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.
