Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How long does the built‑in feed last?
A: Nutrients are released gradually over six weeks; after that, apply a dilute liquid feed every 2–3 weeks for extended growth.
Q2. Can I mix this compost with garden soil?
A: Yes—blend up to 50% with garden soil or coarse materials to adjust drainage and nutrient levels.
Q3. Is this compost suitable for acid‑loving plants?
A: With a neutral pH, it’s generally safe—but for highly acid‑loving species, monitor soil pH and amend if necessary.
Q4. How should I store unused compost?
A: Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and pests; use within 12 months for best performance.
Q5. Can I use this compost for seed sowing?
A: While suitable for many seeds, a finer‑textured seed or propagation compost (e.g., John Innes Seed Compost) is recommended for very fine seeds.
