I'm going to treat myself to an azalea and want to keep it in a pot. I'm not
sure what compost it would be best to use. Should I stick with ordinary John

Many thanks for any help.....


You need an ericaceous compost. Most JI composts have lime added, as
do many multi-purpose composts, but JI also do a lime-free ericaceous
compost. There are other types of ericaceous compost available, but
I'd go for the JI version.
