Product Information
Full details
Richard Jackson Flower Power Easy Compost is ideal for gardeners who want a high-performance, peat-free growing medium without the heavy lifting associated with large bags of traditional compost. This compressed coconut coir system delivers 80 litres of nutrient-enriched soil when hydrated, making it perfect for both flowers and vegetables. The primary caveat is that users must manage the initial hydration process, which requires space and access to a water source before planting can begin.

FAQs
Is this product safe for vegetable gardening?
Yes, this compost is perfectly suitable for growing vegetables and herbs.
How long does the compost last once expanded?
If kept moist and contained, the expanded compost can be used immediately or stored for a short period in a covered container.
Do I need to add extra fertilizer?
No, it is already enriched with Richard Jackson's Flower Power nutrients, though supplemental feeding may be required for heavy-feeding plants later in the season.
Can I use this for indoor houseplants?
Yes, the excellent drainage properties of coir make it an ideal medium for most indoor containers.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Check your local council guidelines for the specific plastic packaging, as recyclability varies by region.
Troubleshooting
The compost feels too dry after hydration.
Add small, measured amounts of water and mix thoroughly until the desired moisture level is reached.
The block is not expanding correctly.
Ensure you are using the correct volume of water and that the water is warm, which helps accelerate the breakdown of the compressed fibres.
