Directions for Use

First, break up the soil in your vegetable patch or allotment to the depth of a garden fork (around 30-40cm). Then, spread Pro-Grow Vegetable Growing Compost onto the area of soil you just dug up to a depth of at least 5-10cm. Finally, give the soil one last fork over, and then water the compost in.

If growing in containers, mix 1 part Pro-Grow Vegetable Growing Compost with 2 parts garden soil, before filling your containers. If you don’t have any garden soil available then you can also use Pro-Grow Premium Topsoil.

Add an organic plant feed during the growing season as required - this is especially important if growing fruiting crops such as tomatoes.

Pro-Grow Vegetable Growing Compost can also be used as a mulch (soil covering) to to preserve moisture in the soil and protect plant roots from frosts. Spread Pro-Grow Vegetable Growing Compost at a depth of at least 5cm being careful not to put the compost in direct contact with the plant stem.

At a depth of 5cm, a 1,000L bag will cover 20m². At a depth of 10cm it will cover 10m².
