Product Information

For cuttings: Fill the pot with the Levington Multi Purpose Compost with added John Innes, take the cutting (according to the type of plant), water, cover and keep warm. Use compost in a well-ventilated place; keep the greenhouse or potting shed door open and avoid breathing in dust. Tub and basket composts are formulated to give the right conditions for pots of summer bedding to grow well. Container compost (sometimes called potting mix) is what you’ll use for anything you plan to keep in a container; usually houseplants but occasionally potted plants outside, too. Lighter in texture than garden compost, it’s not designed to improve the soil around it. Just to make it more complicated, there are plenty of variants of these potting composts, too, even if they’re in a different field to garden compost. Dry, clean bags that aren't torn or faded - in the garden centre choose bags that look new as the contents contain fresh compost. Bags that are faded or are heavy have been hanging around, getting too hot in the sun or soaking up rain, which will damage the compost in the bag. If possible, buy from a garden centre that keeps its compost in a covered area.

Ideal for all plants, flowers, fruits and vegetables. Works well for sowing larger seeds and for cuttings, young and grown plants. Some products may be delivered straight to your door from one of our suppliers and these products will be labelled within the product description.

Green compost adds minerals and organic matter to the mix, together with useful nutrients derived from recycled vegetation A medium-crumbly texture - is ideal. Composts that are too fine are prone to water logging, while those that are too coarse tend to need more frequent watering. A crumbly structure will allow excess water to drain through, while holding enough water and air for roots to thrive.

Old compost is often on sale - we send secret shoppers to buy our composts, who tell us if they find old compost on sale. It's a very common problem. We also know from our testing that old compost doesn't perform as well as fresh compost. To avoid this, buy bags that look new and aren't faded or heavy, which suggests they have been sitting around in bright sunshine for too long, or have been rained on regularly.Notcutts takes data safety very seriously and puts measures in place to ensure that we can meet the high standards,
