john innes no/2 compost
« on: September 06, 2017, 19:47 »
as we have  always bought  multipurpose compost I thought about  trying some john Iness no/2 as it was on offer
but having bought it I was unsure what would be the best thing to use this compost on potting on seed sowing etcetera

so I though I would seek some help and guidance from others before using it so has anyone been using john innes no/2 and for what and advise much appreciated as I bought 10 bags  :unsure:

The RHS says

John Innes Compost No 2
This mix contains double the amount of nutrient in John Innes No 1 to suit established plants. It is suitable for most houseplants and vegetable plants in containers.

I've used it, when it's been on offer, for potting on of veg plants that have to wait before they can be planted out.
The soil/loam content just contains a bit more oomph to keep them happy while waiting.
