Description

This peat-free planter for organic growing is made in the UK and contains a unique blend of sustainable ingredients. Based on a formula used by professional organic growers throughout the UK, it comes both RHS endorsed and Soil Association approved.

The mix includes fine bark (a by-product of sustainably managed British forests), coir (from ethically approved sources), green compost (a carefully sourced certified ingredient) and balanced organic nutrients sufficient for the first 3-4 weeks of growth.

For true organic growing, please bear in mind you will also need to ensure any fertilisers you use are labelled organic and preferably approved by the Soil Association.

The packaging is manufactured using at least 30% post consumer waste plastic. The bag is 100% recyclable but check for local recycling options.

About Melcourt:

Melcourt is the UK’s leading supplier of peat-free growing media, mulches, soil improvers and landscaping products - many of which are RHS endorsed and Soil Association approved. Launched in 1983, they were the first company to explore the possibilities of more sustainable growing media. All their composts and mulches are based on British and European forestry and wood processing residues, with any new raw materials tested in-house to ensure the highest quality.

How to use:

Shake the growbag to loosen and evenly distribute the contents. Cut out the relevant number of holes in the top of the bag using the guide below (there are pre-marked lines for three holes but you can cut any number of holes you need).

Recommended number of plants per bag:

Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, courgettes, aubergines: 1-3
Lettuce, herbs and strawberries: 6-9
Beans, peas: 5-15
Potatoes: 5 tubers
Salad leaves, rocket, mizuna, microgreens, spinach, pea shoots: numerous

Place the growbag in a sheltered, sunny, frost-free position, either outside or in a greenhouse. Pierce drainage holes down both sides of the bag, just above ground level.

At the end of the season after you have harvested and enjoyed your crops, you can dig the contents of the bag into the garden as a general soil improver.

Always wear gloves when gardening and wash hands after use. Use in a ventilated place and avoid breathing in dust. Store in cool, dry conditions.

Please note: under certain conditions a white mould may appear on the surface of some of the particles. This is entirely normal and not harmful to humans, plants or pets.

Key features:

  • RHS endorsed and Soil Association approved
  • For organic fruit and vegetable growing
  • Use as a soil improver after crops are harvested
