FAQs
Is this compost suitable for acid-loving plants?
This is a general-purpose professional grower's compost. For specific ericaceous plants like rhododendrons or camellias, ensure you supplement with an acid-based fertilizer or use a specific ericaceous blend.
Can I use this for seed starting?
While it is a premium medium, the included slow-release fertilizer is quite strong for very young, delicate seedlings. It is recommended to use a lighter seed-starting mix for germination.
How long do the nutrients last?
The included Incredibloom nutrients provide a steady supply of essential elements for approximately one year.
Is the bag resealable?
No, it is not resealable. It is best to store unused portions in a plastic storage bin or tightly folded bag to keep the medium fresh.
Does this compost contain any peat?
No, this product is 100% peat-free, utilizing sustainable ingredients to provide the same professional-grade structural support as traditional composts.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to sit on the surface
This is often caused by the soil being overly dry or compacted. Gently poke small holes into the surface to allow water to penetrate deeper or water in stages to allow for absorption.
Plants showing signs of leaf burn
This may occur if the fertilizer granules were not mixed evenly. Ensure future plantings have the granules spread throughout the medium rather than concentrated at the root zone.

- Watering: Water the plant immediately after planting to activate the moisture retention properties of the compost.
