Green Machine™ Organic Multi-Purpose Compost can be used for indoor and outdoor plants and provides an ideal growing medium for a wide range of applications as follows:
- Loosely fill seed tray or pot with Green Machine™ Organic Multi-Purpose Compost, water in and allow for some settling.
- Sow your seeds evenly and cover lightly with compost.
- If you can it often helps to keep the pot moist by covering with glass or polythene.
- When your seedlings are large enough to go out on their own, separate them out to allow room for growth.
- Plant them in trays or pots filled with compost, firming in with care and water well.
- Fill your container with Green Machine™ Organic Multi-Purpose Compost and water well.
- Prepare the cutting by trimming leaves before the first leaf joint and firm into the compost.
- It can help to keep the cutting in a moist atmosphere; one way is to secure a plastic bag over the plant until roots have formed.
- Once you see signs of growth remove bag and keep in light position.
- Choose a container with sufficient drainage holes, part fill with Green Machine™ Organic Multi-Purpose Compost.
- Make a hole large enough to take the root ball of the plant to be potted.
- Place the plant in the centre of the compost and firm in.
- Top up with more compost and water well.
- Dig hole twice the size of the root ball and add a layer of compost.
- Place plant in the hole and backfill with compost, firm down and water well.

Peat free compost containing recycled materials is a greener, kinder compost.
- Today, lowland peat bogs and their wildlife are threatened through peat extraction; many species such as dragonflies, butterflies and birds depend on peat for their existence.
- Peat covers about 3% of the world’s surface, but it contains enormous amounts of carbon; equivalent to that contained in twice the world’s forests combined.
- Peat develops very slowly; a 10 metre deep peat reserve will have taken 10,000 years to develop. So we can’t replace it quickly or easily.
- Peat free compost is made from recycled materials which would otherwise have been sent to landfill.
- It doesn’t cost the earth - we believe that growing responsibly shouldn't need to be expensive.
- What’s more, you’ll see fantastic results in your garden!
