You may find all bought garden soil, just like a lot of potting compost will have weeds start to grow, unless it say's sterilised top soil.

It is worth getting a bag of ericaceous compost. Why not do a soil test with a cheap testing kit from the garden centre.

The grobag will be mostly peat and very little nutrient, so ideal for Azaleas.

Sorry joysie21. I can't argue with daitheplant because I haven't got my growbags yet to read the the label. Beautiful, blue, healthy, large hydrangeas grow well in your area and if they are very close to you, the soil would be acidic enough with the addition of a growbag.

Jen, you need to READ the growbag?

By the way, are the fabulous blue hydrangeas close to you? My husband comes from North End and has a lot of relations in the area.
