I’ve still got a stash of the older Jack’s Magic, when that’s gone I’ll buy Sylvagrow, it’s getting good reviews from our allotment users and the online allotment website I use

We use Sylvagrow - but also mix it with our garden compost and vermiculite etc.

It is expensive, but you get what you pay for.

I am so peeved, yet again I opened a new bag of westland multi purpose with john innes. It is blooming rubbish. I have potted on some brassicas today, had to use that. Twigs, sticks, leaves and goodness knows what else in the lumps

The only answer might be to sow seeds later, pot on once and quickly put in the ground

I am about to re-sow my squash, they came up, then I potted on and now they are yellow

Plus that compost dries out in the blink of an eye

Westland seed compost is just about ok
