Well you get what you pay for, and if there are 2 or 3 of you it ain't too bad.
Must say, the dahlias have loved the Vitax compost this year....plants I'm putting out today have never looked healthier.

Have rejuvenated a lot of last years compost with Chempak BTD.
All the compost from the containers, and my tomatoes, go into a couple of bins for messing around with....about 160 litres in all. Mixed some of it with the sinclairs tub and hanging basket compost and ended up with a cracking looking mix.

I googled it Geranium and found their website, I've asked them to send me details of my nearest stockist. I've not seen it at any of the GC's around here.

I will google it though.

It was great fun to climb and jump on because it was big. 3 bags = lot of fun when you are 7. He used to make up his compost mixes.
