All of our composts come in a resealable bag, so never worry about having a little extra left over. Simply enclose the lid and situate it in a dry, dark area away from pets and children. The soil's freshness will last at least twelve months once opened, so it's great for emergency repotting and top-ups.

His carefully chosen ingredients and attention to detail within each batch of potting mix set his products apart from the rest. All soils are peat-free, handcrafted to order and always pest-free (Fungus Gnats, Soil Mites, etc.). He believes a healthy, functioning root system always starts with a nutritious, well-structured foundation that balances water retention, oxygenation and soil nutrients in perfect harmony. Why not treat your green pal to his top-quality potting mixes; the best sub-terrain companions on the internet? 🪴

Due to the weight difference when containing water, most soil are measured by the volume. Most companies (like ourselves) will go down the route of Litres, with only a few using other methods like the size of their bags/sacks. We use Litres to help the customer visually imagine the amount that they'll receive!

Any good potting mix will only hold a certain volume of water before dripping the excess through the drainage holes. You're most likely going to cause root rot by watering the plant too often instead of the exact amount of water per drink.

Here's an example, it's far better to water the plant 7L in one go once a week, as supposed to 1L per day for the entire week. The roots won't be able to access the oxygen within the soil, which is critical for reducing the development of root rot. Like bubbles in an ocean, the air will rise when the potting mix is wet, so it's essential to allow the soil to dry slightly between drinks to regain the oxygen.
