Eco Multipurpose Organic Compost questions
Q. Why is it better to use organic compost?
Organic compost improves plant health, growth, improves the soil structure and moisture retention without the use of artificial fertilisers. Artifical fertilisers are often created from fossil-fuels, so using organic compost helps to transition away from these. Organic compost also has long term benefits of improving the soil.
Q. Why is multi-purpose compost good for plants?
Multipurpose is as the name suggests. It’s a great all rounder, however, due to the light nature of it, it is ideal for hanging baskets, seed trays and potted planters. It is packed full with organic matter that gives plants the best start in life.
Q. Can I use multi-purpose compost for growing vegetables?
Yes, multipurpose is a great all rounder. It can be used for potting plants, grass, vegetables and herbs. Some vegetables may need a specialist type of soil, but on the whole, Multipurpose would work well. The composition of the product provides fantastic nutrients, but also has fantastic water retention qualities.
