How to Use

• For Seeds: Fill your seed tray with Clover Multi-Purpose Compost to just below the rim and tap the tray gently until the surface is level. Sow your seeds thinly and cover lightly with a little more compost. Water the tray carefully. Pro tip: Cover the tray with glass or newspaper to create a warm, moist environment, then remove the covering once the seeds have germinated.

• For Seedlings: Transplant your seedlings into pots once they are large enough to handle. Always lift seedlings by their leaves, never by their delicate stems! Water regularly.

• For Potting & Containers: Fill your new pot halfway with compost, leaving enough room for the plant and its existing root ball. Place the plant in the centre, fill the gaps around it with more compost, and use your fingertips to gently firm it down.

• For Hanging Baskets: Fill the hanging basket halfway with compost, position the plant in the centre, and fill the edges with more compost. Firm it down gently.

• For Cuttings: Fill a pot or tray to half an inch below the rim. Use a pencil or dibber to make holes, position your prepared cuttings, and gently firm them in. Water carefully and cover with a clear plastic bag to create a moist environment until roots appear.

Tips & Advice

General Gardening Advice:

• Supplementary Feeding: For potted plants and hanging baskets, regular watering is recommended. To enhance colour and vigour, begin adding a liquid feed with your watering four weeks after potting.

• Delicate Seeds: While Clover Multi-Purpose is specially blended to suit most flowers and vegetables, you may want to sieve the compost to reduce particle size if you are filling very small seed cells for extra-delicate seeds.

• Handling: Wear gardening gloves when handling compost and always wash your hands after use.

• Storage: Keep your compost tightly sealed in its original bag and store it in a cool, dry, and frost-free place to preserve its nutrients and moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Is this compost peat-free? No, this specific formulation contains 100% Irish Moss Peat. (Note: If you are looking for a peat-free alternative, Clover also manufactures a Peat-Free Multi-Purpose Compost.

• Can I use this for ericaceous (acid-loving) plants? For acid-loving plants like rhododendrons, azaleas, and camellias, it is better to use a dedicated Ericaceous compost, as this multi-purpose mix contains added lime.
