Speciality Compost

We are pleased to formulate composts to individual requirements. Our extensive technicl experience is at your disposal and we can assist in the design of composts for specific situations.

We will prepare composts to required air porosity using combinations of our peat grades, these grades are available from fibrous and non-fibrous peats from our UK resources. We also offer alternatives, perlite and bark to efficiently raise air porosity.

Nutrition can be matched to individual situations with the choice of inclusion of soluble base Sincrostart with Sincrocell or Osmocote Plus controlled releases fertiliser.

pH can be varied as required using our specially formulated Magical limestone (12%MgO) which ensures optimum Ca:Mg ratio.

All our composts contain an efficient, longlasting (at least 18 months) wetting agent. Osmocote Plus is a registered trademark of Scotts UK Ltd.
