FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Does your compost contain pests or fungus?

Fungus gnats are a common frustration with many mass-market composts, but we take plant health seriously. Our compost is professionally screened and stored in a clean environment to ensure it is free from infestations. By choosing our specialised mix, you are making the correct decision to keep your home pest-free while providing your plants with a clean, healthy start.

How will your compost make my plants thrive?

Maintaining those spectacular, cascading displays in hanging baskets is a challenge when standard composts dry out and lose their nutrients mid-season. Our Jamieson Brothers Hanging Basket Compost is a high-performance 60L mix specifically engineered to keep your displays lush and vibrant from May until the first frost. By incorporating added John Innes, we’ve created a loam-based foundation that provides superior water retention and weight, preventing baskets from drying out too quickly. With six months of feeding included as standard, your flowers receive a consistent supply of essential minerals, ensuring your petunias, begonias, and fuchsias stay well-fed and breathtaking all summer long.

Does your compost contain large bits of bark (garden waste) or random seeds?

A common complaint with cheaper alternatives is finding "green waste" or unwanted seeds in the bag. Our Hanging Basket Compost is a refined, high-quality medium that is strictly monitored for purity.

You can be confident that you are receiving a consistent, professional-grade product that contains only the nutrients and structure your houseplants need, with no unwanted surprises or contaminants.

What's the structure & consistency of your compost?

Inferior composts can often arrive bone dry or as a fine dust that is difficult to water. Because our mix contains John Innes, it has a much better physical "body" and weight. This helps it retain the correct amount of moisture without becoming waterlogged or dusty. It is easy to handle and provides the perfect air-to-water balance that is essential for the delicate roots of indoor varieties.

Why is this specialised mix a better investment than a cheaper compost?

Buying a “bargain” compost often leads to the hidden costs of purchasing extra feed, watering more frequently or replacing plants that struggle in rapidly drying baskets. Our Hanging Basket Compost is an all-in-one professional solution. Its specialised blend supports moisture management, healthy roots and long-lasting flowering displays throughout the growing season.

It is the most reliable choice for creating full, colourful hanging baskets and containers.
