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 fruit, tree & shrubs thrive?

Investing in permanent garden features like fruit trees or ornamental shrubs requires a foundation that lasts much longer than a single season. Our Jamieson Brothers Fruit, Tree and Shrub Planting Compost is a high-performance 60L blend specifically designed to help larger plants establish quickly and thrive for years to come. By incorporating added John Innes, we’ve created a loam-based medium that offers the physical weight and stability needed to anchor deep root systems securely. This professional-grade mix balances vital aeration with superior moisture retention, protecting your young trees from transplant shock and providing the nutrient-rich environment necessary for a bountiful harvest or a stunning floral display.

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 Fruit, Tree & Shrub 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 soil improvers, correcting poor establishment or replacing valuable plants. Our Fruit, Tree and Shrub Planting Compost is an all-in-one professional solution. Its substantial structure provides dependable moisture stability, root support and anchorage for plants that will remain in place for many years.

It is the most reliable choice for establishing fruit plants, ornamental trees and shrubs in pots or the garden.
