I'm having a bit of a dilema! I need to re-pot my plants and i don't know what soil to use. I am going to a UK garden centre so could anyone advise me on which soil to buy please?
Would standard compost do the job or do i need something a little bit special?
Many Thanks,
Dr GreenThumb

Ask for aproduct called soil less soil it contians vermiculite and no nutrients (Or very little)it comes in yard bags from your local hydro shop.fairly cheap 33 dollars canadian (thats where i am)being from the UK it may be called somthing different.I find this product has done wonders for my plants as it has nothing I dont want in it just what I give em!Thats it.

I heard of people using "peat moss" + "perlite" + "vermiculite" mixed in equal amounts, you better have some nutes ready to go though.

Buy a compost and a bag of perlite use 20 % perlite,I would recomend buying the best that you can afford but if you buy the cheeper stuff riddle it the soil will be top soil then.I would also go for a soil with no added feed because this f@cks my feeding up has i use a feed.
