Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Why use peat-free compost?
A: Peat-free compost is environmentally responsible. It helps protect natural peatlands, which are important carbon sinks and biodiversity habitats.
Q: What does “ericaceous” mean?
A: Ericaceous refers to plants that thrive in acidic soil conditions (pH below 7). These plants cannot tolerate lime and often suffer nutrient deficiencies in alkaline soils.
Q: How long does the compost feed plants?
A: The compost includes nutrients that feed your plants for up to 6 weeks. After this period, a liquid ericaceous feed is recommended.
Q: Is this compost safe for edible plants like blueberries?
A: Yes, it is safe and effective for all acid-loving edible plants such as blueberries and cranberries.
Q: Can I use this compost for non-ericaceous plants?
A: It is not recommended, as the low pH and specific nutrient profile are tailored for ericaceous species and may not suit other plants.
