What size are they though morewhisky please, if you still have a a bag laying around.

Im assuming hes referring to the 4/ £5 deal. or £1.59 each.

Website says 33L which seems to be the norm.


Yer you got it right lardman 33l  , its good stuff for the price!
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

I now have my replacement compost from Humax which is like what I was expecting from them nice fine compost ideal for seed trays and plug trays.

after I have used this up I will try using  Singletons multipurpose compost as I have has a fair few gardening friends say that they like this compost.

Glad that humax came through for you in the end.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Has anyone used Fertile Fibre (Coir peat free)? its very expensive but the most fine and successful I have found among peat free composts.

If you consider the number of failed trays and plugs I have had with other composts the Fertile Fibre is actually quite cost effective thoughy pricey initially.

I went with B and Q multipurpose for all my seeds this year after seeing the Which trial results summerised somewhere. Have not had any reason to regret it with near 100% germination and no problems like damping off. Only thing that didn't germinate well was cape gooseberries which I find notoriously difficult to get to germinate.

Link to the results:

Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
