Can you tell me:
- Aside from coir, which materials can be used to make seed composts?
- Can you get a loam-based seed compost? If so, is it peat-free?
Thanks!
Seed : 2 parts molehill or worm cast or loam, 1 part sand, 1 part leaf mould or compost
Potting : 7 parts soil, 3 parts compost/leaf mould, 2 parts sand, slow release fertiliser
the soil / compost should ideally be sterilised
to prevent unwanted weeds
Can you get a loam-based seed compost? If so, is it peat-free? Yes you can buy loam-based peat free seed compost..but getting hold of it might be a different story. Not all garden centres stock it..but if you go into larger Garden Centre..I'm sure they will do it.
Not all loam-based seed compost are peat-free, so you just have to look what it say on the bags.
Thanks for that!
Can you get a wood fibre seed compost?
