Title: Best ericaceous compost
Post by: operabunny on March 30, 2011, 21:55

There is already a thread for multi-purpose compost but I was wondering if anyone could recommend a particular ericaceous compost (or let me know if there are any to avoid!).

I've got my sights on some lovely, well established blueberry bushes at a local garden centre and if I'm going to invest in those I want to make sure they're planted in the good stuff!

Thanks!

I found out that my blueberries needed the stuff and went to the garden centre to find only two types on offer - I went for the most expensive hopeing that meant it was good! I dont know where you would get yours from but there are far less types than normal compost. I forget which type it was - sorry!

i used b+q eracious compost to plant my blueberrie plants in. Seemed good quality stuff. Think it was £5.95 for a 60litre sack
