Which Multi-Purpose Compost Should I Choose?

Pots, Containers and Planting Out

For everyday pots, hanging baskets and planting out, choose the blend that matches your plants and peat preference. RocketGro 50L is a peat-free general-purpose option; RocketGro with added John Innes 40L is designed for potting on and repotting. Clover 60L offers a peat-based alternative.

Our peat-free compost guide explains the alternatives. Compare bag volumes and the selected pack size as well as the total price when ordering.

Seeds and Acid-Loving Plants

Match the compost to the plant and its stage of growth. Clover lists seed sowing among its uses. For seeds, cuttings and tiny plugs, RocketGro recommends its specialist Seed & Cutting Compost before moving on to a multi-purpose blend.

Acid-loving plants need a different choice: see our ericaceous compost guide for plants such as blueberries, camellias and rhododendrons.
