Product Information

Full details

The Thompson & Morgan Premium Multipurpose Compost is an ideal growing medium for both amateur and professional gardeners looking to support a wide range of plants from seedlings to established containers. Its primary benefit is a high-performance, peat-free formula enriched with John Innes loam and slow-release nutrients that ensure consistent hydration and long-term health. However, potential users should note that as a heavy-duty professional blend, the 40L bag is substantial in weight and requires proper storage to maintain its nutrient integrity.

Troubleshooting

Compost surface appears dry

The moisture uptake technology may require thorough saturation. Ensure water is applied slowly until it runs freely from the drainage holes.

White mold appears on the surface

This is often a natural occurrence of beneficial fungi breaking down organic matter and is generally harmless. Simply stir the surface or improve air circulation.

Water drains too slowly

Ensure the container has sufficient drainage holes and that the compost has not been overly compacted during planting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure your pots have adequate drainage holes to complement the moisture-retaining properties of the compost. When transplanting, remove any damaged roots from your plants before setting them into the medium. For optimal care, store unused portions of the bag in a cool, dry place and seal the opening to prevent the medium from drying out or becoming contaminated with weed seeds. This compost is suitable for use in pots, hanging baskets, and for direct garden soil improvement.
