Bought large bag . It's much better value. It was despatched quickly but the carrier DHL were very slow it sat in local depot for 5 days. Very odd as I had other deliveries from there during that time.
A 10ltr bag cost us £10 at a garden centre - this was 10 times the weight for £30. Superb value. We mixed it into compost along with gardening gravel to use with some of our potted plants. It makes the soil mixture much lighter to lift (than compost alone). Helps retain water so the pots will need less watering. Will also use next spring for growing seeds.
for starting off seeds & seedlings. Can help make handling delicate seedlings easier. This is a low density medium, easily blown about by the wind, so is best used indoors in a shed, greenhouse or conservatory, or perhaps the kitchen windowsill.
