  • Lakeland Gold (40 Litre Bag)

    Traditional Claybuster and ‘Gold-standard’ Autumn Mulch. Encourages worms and enriches your soil. We use Lakeland gold because as the names suggests it is the gold standard for enriching soil by increasing the organic matter. It provides natural slow release nutrients, aiding moisture retention, balancing the pH, reducing erosion and providing a fantastic feeding ground for earthworms.

    Our team recommends Lakeland Gold for use in No Dig gardening and we use it heavily when top dressing our plants at the nursery (1 bag per m2).

  • Wool Compost For Seeds (12 Litre Bag)

    We use Dalefoot’s peat free seed compost to give our seedlings the best start to life at the nursery, as it is specially blended to aid the germination of seeds.

    The benefits are endless with this product as seedlings require 50% less watering, the structure of the compost allows good drainage and it also stimulates healthy root development.

    Our team recommends using this product until potting on, when roots are developed, we transfer to Dalefoot’s Wool Compost.

    Once seedlings have germinated and roots have developed we pot our plants in Dalefoot’s Wool Compost. This compost is a mixture of wool and bracken, making 100% sustainable and peat free. On the nursery we tend to a large array of plants all with different irrigation needs. Therefore, the high water retention of Dalefoot’s Wool Compost is perfect for catering for all types of plants, especially for growing in containers where water retention is key.

    Our team would recommend it primarily for use in containers, hanging baskets and raised beds.
