potting on compost
Any recommendations for a compost to pot-on tomatoes that is not too heavy,
but on the other hand does not let the water run straight through? I've usually used J Arthur Bowers 'seed and potting', but it's difficult to get locally and necessitates a 25 mile round trip to the nearest place to buy, whereas I have about three or four garden centres, a B&Q & a Homebase within a 10 mile trip to buy an alternative. I tried one different one a couple of years ago when I couldn't find the JAB, and the water just ran through (can't remember what it was called unfortunately). I've wasted the best part of a bag of JAB having potted on most of the tomatoes which developed mosaic virus so have had a good clean out and disinfectant of the greenhouse. I've now got later ones coming on in my conservatory which I will put out in the greenhouse and hope! I've put a good sized test replacement from my neighbour in the disinfected greenhouse and watching for any signs of the virus before I put the others out there. Any advise or experience of this virus will be very welcome. Ros |
