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 potatoes thrive?

Achieving a bumper crop of homegrown potatoes requires more than just luck; it requires a soil structure that can handle the sheer weight of a developing harvest. Our Jamieson Brothers Potato Planting Compost is masterfully blended with added John Innes to provide the essential loam-based body that potatoes crave. This 60L professional mix excels at retaining consistent moisture—the secret to preventing potato scab—while offering the structural stability needed for heavy, healthy vines. Whether you are growing in bags, tubs, or traditional drills, this nutrient-rich foundation ensures your tubers have the room and the energy to grow large, clean, and full of flavour.

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 Potato Planting 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, improving a compacted growing medium or accepting a disappointing potato crop. Our Potato Planting Compost is an all-in-one professional solution. Its loose, supportive structure provides developing roots and tubers with the space, moisture and growing conditions they need.

It is the most reliable choice for growing potatoes in bags, containers, raised beds and vegetable plots.
