Added natural food and nutrients feed your plants for up to 6 weeks. Natural long- lasting feed encourages big and beautiful blooms. How to Use Vital Earth RSPB MPC Organic Compost Sowing Seeds Fill trays or pots with RSPB Multi Purpose Organic Compost, level off and firm lightly Water thoroughly, using a watering can with a fine rose Sow seeds evenly and thinly as per seed packet instructions Label/date the tray or pot Unless they are really tiny (e.g. petunia, begonia), most seeds benefit from a thin covering of compost and most need to be started in darkness. For most seeds, the texture of RSPB Multi Purpose Compost is perfect, but for exceptionally fine seeds, it can be sieved before use. Seeds also like a temperature of 20-30oC and moist conditions, which can be achieved using a propagator or a covering of clear plastic. There are always exceptions, however, – for example lettuce and impatiens, so check the seed instructions carefully. Once the seeds have germinated, remove any covering and keep moist and well lit. Hanging Baskets and Other Containers Line hanging basket Fill basket/container with RSPB multi purpose compost and plant up, leaving approximately 1 cm for watering, and firming gently to eliminate air spaces Water thoroughly and do not allow your basket or container to dry out Potting Choose a pot large enough to accommodate the root ball and partly fill with RSPB the Compost Water the plant thoroughly, and then remove it from its pot Place the root-ball in the new pot and fill around the sides, leaving approximately 1 or 2 comes for watering, and firming gently to eliminate air spaces Water thoroughly Planting Trees, Roses, Shrubs etc. Soak the root ball in a bucket of water until air bubbles no longer appear Dig a hole approximately twice the width of the root ball Mix RSPB multi purpose into the soil 50:50 and then place the plant centrally in the hole. Refill, carefully firm in and water well During dry conditions, place a 2cm layer of RSPB multi purpose compost in the bottom of the hole and water this layer well before planting Watering Peat-free composts behave differently from peat-based when it comes to deciding when and how much to water. It may not always be obvious just by looking at the compost whether it needs water or not. To tell whether watering is needed, poke the compost surface with your finger. If the surface is soft, watering is not needed. If it is firm, then watering is needed fairly soon. Take care not to over water, however, as this can suffocate roots and encourage flies. Feeding Plants in RSPB multi purpose compost will not need feeding for at least six weeks. After that, a dilute liquid feed or an organic top-dressing can be applied to young plants or a natural fertiliser to container plants. After applying, water in. Totally organic, helping to protect the natural environment. Supplied as a 50Litre Bag
