Its texture and composition suit a range of container sizes—from small window boxes to larger hanging baskets—empowering you to design sustainable, low-maintenance greenery year-round.

How to get the best from it

1. Fill pots or baskets with the peat-free mix to about 2–3 cm below the rim.
2. Gently place plants and fill around the roots, pressing lightly to remove air pockets.
3. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the mix and establish moisture balance.
4. Top up as needed between seasons to keep displays looking fresh and well-supported.

Tips for thriving results: group plants with similar water needs to simplify care, and position exposed containers where they receive appropriate light for the plant type. This Westland peat-free compost mix is a practical choice for eco-conscious gardeners who want attractive, healthy containers without relying on peat-based soils.
