Directions

Line the mesh container with a suitable liner (hessian, netting, etc.).Half fill the container with Growise Aquatic Compost, position the plant in the desired place in the pot, and fill with compost around the plant tapping gently to remove larger air pockets. Gently firm the compost around the plant, adding more if necessary. Add a thick layer of horticulture grit (washed, lime free) to the top of the pot, to prevent the compost from floating.
