About this deal
Learning how to grow vegetables is one of the most rewarding things you can do. Nothing compares to serving up your own spuds with a Sunday Roast or adding those carefully tended carrots to a soup or stew. Find out how to grow, with the help of our peat-free New Horizon compost, which is kind to your plants as well as the planet. New Horizon is a naturally peat-free formulation. It is specially created to be the perfect compost for all plants by providing triple the goodness. A perfect blend of Biofibre, West+ formulation and Coir+ to stimulate instant plant energy, let roots and leaves thrive and sustain nutrients for longer Our unique granules in BIO3 absorbs and stores as well as releases moisture into the compost. This results in the optimum water management for the plant, and thus the biggest and best blooms possible. So, this season, J Arthur Bowers have altered and expanded the range. Until this year we were offered garden compost, a growing bag and a general purpose compost (the latter was the one I used). There was also a brief appearance of a coir-based product which has not been continued.
I will soon be planting up one of the vegetable planters with cucumbers, so I'll see how that goes too. Work out the correct spacing for your plants and position them in their planting position so that you can make sure that you are happy before they are planted. New Horizon All Vegetable Compost can be used all year round from January to December. We recommend using the product in a well-ventilated place and avoid breathing in dust. Always wear gloves when gardening and wash hands after use. New Horizon is the next generation of growing media with growing performance, effectively competing with peat-based products. Therefore offering a truly high-quality and also sustainable peat-free alternative.Our unique wood fibre West+ creates the optimum structure and air spaces in the compost. Hence it delivers the very best root growth possible.
Three months on and I am harvesting my first produce - spring onions, cabbage and lettuce so far. No difference in the quality crop that I can tell. Boost All Purpose Liquid Plant Food is specially formulated for use with peat reduced, peat free and ericaceous composts, delivery 4x more blooms**, more fruits and vegetables!
I am well aware that I could easily be watering less, and the weather is different, so do take that into account - I can't provide a controlled experiment! New Horizon Composts are naturally peat-free formulation that gives every plant triple the goodness. This peat-free formulation is ideal for all types of plants and can also feed your plants for up to 6 weeks. New for 2008 is a vegetable planter and a vegetable compost which appear to be a mixture of wood and coir, as far as I can tell. The growing bag has been re-named, I think, as a tomato growing bag.
