Red_Eye_Si Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I've picked up a bag of this stuff, but the peat-free version. Seems very twiggy and loose to me, does anyone agree with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems very twiggy and loose to me, does anyone agree with that? not sure I'd use the word... twiggy clumpy's more like it edited: crappy keyboard oh & I did add about 10% pearlite to mine to aid drainage & break the stuff up :wink: Edited September 15, 2006 by dikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bish Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 (edited) I bought a 60l bag the other day - it seems it's changed from the older bag. Different colour blue for starters old bag was dark blue - new bag lighter blue, & there's a lot less perlite in it, plus a few lumps of white soft rooted wood. It seems to be a lot less compacted though, so we'll see how it fairs to the older stuff. Edited September 26, 2006 by Bish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nigfis Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I just bought a bag of the Westlands Organic stuff. Hmmmm It looks much more course, with stick-bits in it too. Rather like something that came out of my garden compost heap. I'm giving it a go though, just to see what happens. I've stuck one of them mad sats in it, something Auzzie or Thai (or a cross of both), I'll let you know in sixteen weeks if it goes well.... Sooner if not.

Guest Blabblabberbab Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I've been using Westlands this grow for the first time - might have to cut it with extra perlite in future as it seems really hot to me - been a shit year for growing in the blab household mind, so it might just be my numptiness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_boy1980 Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 I too have brought myself some Westlands Multi-purpose composot with added john innes the other day. I also Felt as if it needed some extra perlite in the mix. I decided to change from hydroponics to compost after growing hydro for 2 years from noticing how easy growing with compost can be....With similar yields too... We'll seee.

compostverte Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I've just sprouted some seeds in it. It was a bit soggy compared to my usual B&Q plus perlite. Everything seems OK so far, but I think I will use my own recipe next time. For the rest of the grow I'm prepared to resist the temptation to dilute it.
