What makes it different

Unlike peat-based mixes, this Melcourt formulation preserves soil structure and uses sustainable inputs that help ecosystems. The result is a lighter, well-draining medium that stays workable, makes repotting a breeze, and reduces the environmental footprint without compromising performance.

Ideal uses

• Potting up flowering plants, herbs, and vegetables in containers
• Planting out seedlings and established plants into borders, beds, or glasshouse plots
• General garden top-dressing to refresh soil structure and fertility
• Home and professional settings where consistent, reliable results are essential

How to use

1. For pots and containers: fill pots to about 2 cm below the rim with the peat-free compost. Place plants or seedlings on top, fill around them, and gently firm the surface.
2. For beds and borders: loosen the top layer of soil, spread the compost as a mulch or incorporate lightly, then water thoroughly after planting.
3. Water consistently after planting and during dry spells to leverage the compost’s moisture-retentive properties without creating soggy conditions.
4. Replenish annually or as needed to maintain soil structure and nutrient availability for a flourishing garden.

This Melcourt solution is especially suited to gardeners who want quality, performance, and sustainability in one bag. It’s a practical choice for home gardeners looking to simplify their routine while supporting healthier root systems and more resilient plants across a wide variety of species.
