Craig Malcolm Gibbon Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hi group, This question is for the guys here in Ireland. Has anyone used Westland Potting Grit? Is it any good? Regards, Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) 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: http://www.deelish.ie/ Edited August 28, 2017 by Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be pH neutral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 They bulk their peat up with ordinary compost so I wouldn't believe the 'lime free' on their bags of grit either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantsman Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 J. Arthur Bowers is a Westland product, FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
