Best Price! Wilko Seed and Cutting Compost 20 Litres - £2 at Wilko

Available from Wilko
£2
Comment12

Well I was after some decent sowing compost but the prices from Amazon , EBay etc were prohibitive (£8 -£10 for 10 litres ! ) . so had to get off my backside and do my "essential " shop .

Well I'm impressed with this compost , nice and fine , 80% peat with vermiculite and horticultural sand and no twigs etc !.

I realise we shouldn't use peat based compost (to save the peat bogs ) but it is so much better for seeds than that chopped up doormat stuff you get .

I mix it with extra vermiculite to bulk it up and help water retention .

Golfforall be good for my plant seeds. I’m going to try and grow my own tomato plants from seed this year instead of buying the plants. I want to try some different types this year. So will be perfect for them too.

heatherduthie I do that every year , tomato seeds are dead easy and only take a few days to pop up . As well as the normal tomatoes I do the cherry ones and grow them 2 or 3 plants to a hanging basket . Tumbler , Red Cherry and Sugar Plum are good for that method (and of course it saves having to stake them and keep taking off the side shoots ).

Golfforall I have to grow mine in the greenhouse. It’s not warm enough here in the north east of Scotland to grow them outside in hanging baskets. I love yellow tomatoes so I have bought a few different types including the pineapple ones. I have also bought the rainbow ones to try. I will give them a go and see how I get on. Just got the greenhouse in the first lockdown so last year was my first attempt growing tomatoes with bought plants.

heatherduthie The coloured ones (blue ,black, yellow etc ) are just as easy to grow and taste just as nice . I imagine they make a salad look more decorative . Sadly the plebs I give them away to just like tomato coloured tomatoes 🙄

Golfforall hahaha. Yes that’s the ones. My grandson will be 4 in April. And last year he loved helping me in the greenhouse. I thought they would be quite fun to grow with him.

You can do those in a hanging basket too , did them a couple of years back in a basket and had a huge crop right up to the end of September .

Golfforall Ive just thrown mine into the greenhouse so haven’t opened it yet. I will maybe plant some seeds next week and pop them into the airing cupboard. Too cold for the greenhouse yet.
