Clover Mother Earth Multi-Purpose Compost - 60L

Clover Mother Earth mult-purpose compost is ideal for promoting healthy growth from seed to full bloom. It has a rich natural base of the finest Irish moss peat with a perfect balance of lime and plant foods.

Seeds: Mother Earth has been specially blended to suit delicate flower and vegetable seeds. Fill the tray to just below the rim and tap gently until the surface is level. Sow the seeds thinly and cover lightly with the compost. Water the tray carefully. Cover the tray with glass and newspaper to create a warm moist atmosphere. Remove the glass and newspaper when the seeds have germinated.

Seedlings: Healthy growth and colour of developing plants is ensured by use of this multipurpose compost. Transplant seedlings to pots when they are large enough to handle and remember to water regularly. Never lift seedlings by the stems as these are easily damaged. Lift them by the leaves.

Potting: Fill the new pot halfway with Mother Earth multipurpose compost and leave enough room for the plant and it's existing compost. Place the plant in the centre. Fill in around the plant with this compost and use finger tips to gently firm down. Regular watering is recommended and a liquid feed should be added with each watering after four weeks. This will enhance colour and vigour.

Hanging Baskets: Mother Earth is the ideal compost for hanging baskets, with it's special blend of nutrients and wetting agent.

Cuttings: Fill a pot or seed tray to 1/2" below top rim with Mother Earth and use a pencil or dibber to make holes for the cuttings. Position the prepared cuttings and firm in gently. To create a moist atmosphere, water and cover with a plastic bag. Transplant into pots when roots appear.
