John Innes
« on: March 15, 2007, 07:36:33 »
Hello,

I've been potting on my seedlings gradually from a seed compost to a John Innes No.2, but then I bought some John Innes No.3 at the weekend, because it said Hungry Crops, e.g. Tomatoes

Is this just for fruiting plants or should I use it for all veg, e.g. Brassicas etc.??

This might give you a better understanding why different composts are used!

Thanks for that - I'll stick with what I'm doing and use the No.3 later...
