How do you use it?
For Seed Sowing
For certain seed types you may wish to try the Field No.7 seed compost. Firstly, fill a seed tray or plant pot, level and gently firm down below the rim of the container. Sow seeds according to the suppliers recommendations. Water gently and keep moist and warm within a purpose built propagator or under a sheet of clear glass/polythene. Keep warm and shaded until germination takes place, then remove covering and place in warm sun lit area, avoiding direct sun light. Water and feed as necessary following seed supplier’s instructions.
For Re-potting
Make sure the plant has been well watered and left to drain before re-potting. Choose a pot at least 4cm larger than the existing one. Fill the new container up just below the level of the existing plant root ball, then carefully place the plant on top leaving about 1 cm below the rim. Fill and gently firm the void space around the root ball with Field 23, then feed and water according to the plants requirement.
For Beds
You can use our No.23 or No.7 Seed Compost to create a seed bed in your beds or borders if sowing direct. This creates the perfect environment for seeds to germinate and grow.
Watering
Remember to keep Field No.23 moist at all times – do not let it dry out and equally do not overwater!

Not your bog standard compost. I was expecting this to be compost like many others but this is quite different. I have just tried it for the first time to pot up my dahlias for the year and got my normal bag of grit out of the shed so I was all prepared. As soon as I opened the No23 potting mix I put the grit away again. This is a professional product with everything it needs. There is no risk of my tubers rotting in this perfect blend.
