Miracle-Gro Premium All Purpose Compost, 50L

Product Information

Seed compost is designed to provide the low levels of nutrients needed at the early stages of a plant’s life and can contain additional ingredients that aid germination. It’s fine and lightweight, and usually more expensive than multipurpose. Miracle-Gro is famous for its all-purpose plant food and lawn food, as well as an extensive line of composts. Most of the product line includes chemicals and synthetics, but the Performance Organics range doesn’t. This compost is versatile enough to cope with all your plant needs: this version slowly releases nutrients over a period of three months, which is perfect for the summer season. It does contain some peat, but the all-organic content means it’s still safe around pets and children.

Environment Minister Rebecca Pow said: “I applaud this commitment as a hugely positive step towards a peat-free future for the UK’s gardening trade, ahead of our proposed ban on peat in the retail sector by the end of this Parliament. This bold move will help gardeners across the UK to make the sustainable choice and go peat-free - to protect our peatlands, cut carbon emissions, and safeguard our environment for generations to come.” Miracle-Gro Premium All Purpose Compost for all plants absorbs 25% more water than ordinary compost.

They have both been; drained for agriculture, forestry and construction; and, reduced in size by commercial peat extraction for horticulture. As a result these carbon sinks have released greenhouse gases accounting for five per cent of the UK’s total emissions. The Wildlife Trust has reported that the peat extracted for UK horticulture in 2020 alone could release up to 880,000 tonnes of CO2over its lifetime. One of the ways in which peatlands can be restored is by ‘re-wetting’ or reinstating the natural flow of water and soil saturation.

Generally speaking, the cost will depend on the type of compost and the size of the bag, as it’s often more cost-effective to buy 20 litres instead of five litres. A general rule of thumb many gardeners go by is that the cheapest option will be the worst quality. Price doesn’t always reflect a compost’s quality, though: sometimes a cheaper brand can actually deliver preferable results.
