Dalefoot Compost DAL01 Wool Compost, 10.0 cm*65.0 cm*45.0 cm

Product Information

I am also a reckless gardener and somewhat lazy so I leave my tubers in the ground over winter and just hope they appear again in the spring. What I like about using Dalefoot is that the compost is made from totally renewable resources which obviously has environmental benefits. Sticking our head in the sand is no longer an option, this has consequences for everyone and everything. Soil Association approvedDalefoot’s Wool Compost for Seeds has a fine texture with good drainage to provide a perfect start for seeds. You can use it just like any other seed compost, loosely filling pots or trays and placing your efforts in a greenhouse, propagator or warm windowsill.

the organic gardeners best friend a ‘dynamic accumulator’ packed with nutrients is added into the Wool Compost range.Peat, as defined by the International Peatland Society, is “Peat is the surface organic layer of a soil that consists of partially decomposed organic matter, derived mostly from plant material, which has accumulated under conditions of waterlogging, oxygen deficiency, high acidity and nutrient deficiency”. The gathering of flocks has become very difficult through waist high bracken stands and this very aggressive plant competes with other native vegetation to the extent that other plants fail and available grazing is reduced.

Go peat-free with this Dalefoot Peat-Free Wool Compost is the compost of all composts made here in Cumbria. Bracken provides naturally high levels of potash, essential for fruiting and flowering and significant levels of iron and magnesium to nourish strong healthy plants. Helps with water management – peat plays an important role in the hydrological cycle helping to maintain water quantity and quality.The ideas for the range of composts comes from old gardening books and are all made on a small Lakeland hill farm, near Penrith, Cumbria. It also works really well directly into gardening beds – we’ve had great success with it in raised beds. Bocking 47’ is the gold standard of Comfrey varieties as it contains very high levels of potassium, phosphorous and nitrogen all of which are essential for healthy plant growth, larger flowers and bigger crops. Traditionally, here in the Lake District, bracken has been used as an animal winter bedding material, which was then spread on the land in Spring to fertilise the fields.
