My husband works at a local garden nursery, and they use peat compost for potting up the plants. The compost is delivered in big bags, like the ones that Travis Perkins use for delivering ballast or sand.
Anyway, these bags have an expiry date and two of the bags have an expiry date which has passed, and so the nursery are thinking of throwing them away. I'm therefore thinking about using the compost on my lottie - anyone know of a reason why I shouldn't? I know the compost does have something in it to give cuttings/plants a good start, so I'm a bit wary of using it...but at the same time I don't want to see the bags being thrown away. Also, what's with the expiry date? Surely compost can't have an expiry date?
Any help/advise gratefully received. I don't want to go throwing loads on the lottie, if it's going to ruin the crops.
