Downside Nurseries Multipurpose 3:2:1
- 3 parts peat for moisture retention
- 2 parts soil for nutrient retention
- 1 part sand for drainage
and a generous amount of base fertiliser for strong plant growth
For many years, our best-selling compost has been Michael King’s 3:2:1 but sadly, after 75 years, they have ceased production. So we decided to have our own compost made to as near as possible to the same specification.
It has taken some time: the main problem being the bags. We have had to settle for plain white bags as the minimum print run was 250,000 which we felt was a little ambitious! 40L bags as before so handleable.
This is a good all-round compost and the one we particularly recommend for long-term plantings in pots and containers.
£9.50 a bag but with an introductory multibuy: 3 bags for £25
