I bought a few bales of B & Q peet free compost to use in the boxes my
dahlia tubers stand in for propagating.
I don't know how it will do, I wouldnt like to use it for growing on
plants, it seems to consist of just composted bark & wood fibre,
I should think it will require a lot of nitrogen to break it down.
Any one else tried it?

We have used New Horizon on the nursery for many years now as the
Clematis in particular over winter better in it. It takes some adjustment
in watering habits and we do give an extra osmocote imput as otherwise
stuff can stall, in the last year we have been admixing soil at around
30% and that seems even better.
