Potting Grit Ireland

[Craig Malcolm Gibbon]

Hi group,

This question is for the guys here in Ireland. Has anyone used Westland Potting Grit? Is it any good?

 

Regards,

 

Craig

I wouldn't touch anything from Westlands, You should still be able to get J Arthur Bower's Horticultural grit, if no one closer has it then get it from these guys in Skibereen, call to check they have it in stock:

Thanks Trev, any particular reason Why?? It seems to be pH neutral.

They bulk their peat up with ordinary compost so I wouldn't believe the 'lime free' on their bags of grit either.

Craig, I used it for years with no problems (apart from the weight of the stuff). Most people use Perlite which is ph 7-7.5

J. Arthur Bowers is a Westland product, FYI
