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 bulbs thrive?

Many gardeners find that bulbs fail to emerge or rot over winter when planted in heavy, generic composts. Our Jamieson Brothers Bulb Planting Compost is expertly blended to provide the specific conditions bulbs need to thrive. With an open, free-draining structure that prevents waterlogging and a balanced nutrient profile to support early root development, it ensures your spring and summer bulbs have the best possible start. Whether planting in pots, borders, or naturalising in lawns, this 60L bag offers the professional-grade foundation needed for a spectacular, healthy display of colour.

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 Bulb 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 drainage materials or replacing valuable bulbs damaged by unsuitable growing conditions. Our Bulb Planting Compost is an all-in-one professional solution. Its specialised structure supports healthy root establishment while helping create the well-drained conditions bulbs need for dependable growth and flowering.

It is the most reliable choice for creating healthy, colourful bulb displays in pots, beds and borders.
