Thank you for the surprising information, but it does lead me to a question regarding other plant species. I have a HUGE number of succulents that are in my greenhouse. I loathe pesticides, however am in a mealybug metropolis and have settled on using either neem oil or an organic Bonide product for use as systemic pesticides (hence the reason for isolating them in my greenhouse...I know systemic pesticides are detrimental to pollenators, and succulents do produce blooms). With the toxicity of tires being as it is, doesn't it also affect the pollinators as well? I'm extremely conscious of their importance, as well as the dangers involved with anything that hits the plant roots, so I'd love your feedback.

Thanks for your informative video 😊 I've been in the hobby for a year now and have the 600 and do use it out of the box. I've been out on a club dig today in Surrey for six hours and in general I dig everything but all I've got is crud so I've started ignoring what I consider to be rubbishy signals. On recent digs in both Kent and Shropshire I've dug everything and also ended up with crud. I'm starting to think that detecting is a good walk spoilt. Best wishes to you 😊

The main culprit mould is aspergillis, the condition from inhalation called aspergillosis. Basically severe asmatic symptoms can occur. Like most moulds it has peaks at certain times a year. My dad was hospitalised once after shovelling multiple bags of chips on our allotment. Got told by a neighbouring plot holder it was no problem. He was a doctor. The next time he was wearing a mask. Also had to discourage young kids from playing on a pile Only to be told off by the ill informed parents Great to get a reminder

Make your vote, but tell your Labour MP that you leant your vote to them and that you want PR. PR makes voting positively for something a genuine choice, rather than having to vote against the party you dislike, and enough pressure can get it in the next Labour manifesto. Plus PR will end the threat of a unified Tory government.

I would NOT grade this as either ok or anything above an F-. They've rushed the product to market in order to meet government guidelines on the phasing out of peat in compost mixes. What it really needs is regular turning every other day, covering up in-between turns to keep out excess water, for about another 6-8 weeks. Only then, would it qualify as compost and not the mulch it actually is. How they can get away with calling it 'All Purpose' is beyond me.
@pinkelephants1421

Aldi supermarket didn't have their peat free compost in yet as it was too early in the year so I ordered Miracle Gro Peat Free compost instead. I was shocked to find that upon opening the bags, it was only truly fit for mulch as it hadn't been composted for long enough, was very coarse and claggy to boot. Still, as it was early January 2024, I thought to brave it anyway and potted on 3 very nice young shrubs I bought via mail order. 6 months on and after following every cultivation instruction the growers recommended, all three shrubs had failed to thrive. Upon upending them out of the pots I discovered that there'd been no new root development at all & they'd all died. Similarly, after sowing delphinium, rudbeckia, sweet peas, Echinacea & lupin seeds on 29/02/24 in propagators in the greenhouse and wondering why there'd been little to no germination whatsoever, after 6wks I resowed. 1/06/24 I finally decided it was time to pot on the resulting seedlings despite poor growth. I was shocked to discover that there was a 99•5% failure of development beyond that of initial germination. I've used peat free compost for around thirty years as I find it much better than peat based ones as it's slower to dry out & easier to re-wet as well as being more environmentally friendly. I'm one of those sickening people who can tackle the nearly dead stuff in the reduced section or womble the fly tipped stuff people have thrown out & is also nearly dead, bring it home and reinvigorate them back to magnificence, something that makes my mum dead jealous as she only has to look in a plant's direction for it to turn it's metaphorical toes up & die! I'm so well known for this at my local B&Q that before the garden centre staff even say hello, they tell me the status of what is or isn't in the reduced section the moment they see me walk in the door. A mate described me to someone yesterday as being someone who brings home weeds & transforms them back to health. In other words, I'm a very good amateur triffidologist. I have NEVER had such terrible results with commercial peat free compost, or any compost for that matter, as I've had with this stuff and would NEVER EVER buy it again. In desperation I've bought some Aldi peat free compost, mixed it & perlite, vermiculite, fish, blood & bone with the Miracle Gro stuff & painstakingly potted on my seedlings to see if this makes any difference; fingers crossed it will.

I can’t get on with this peat free compost. It dries out so quickly. Sometimes having to water pots twice a day as the ‘compost’ does not retain the water and runs straight out the bottom. Even putting a saucer underneath the pot does nothing as the compost does not soak it up where peat compost would. How this is more environmentally friendly to use peat free compost, I do not know as I am having to use more water. Water, which is a scarce commodity.

Hi Thank you for your miracle Gro review. I used to like it and had great results with it, from seed sowing to filling baskets and tubs. However over the past 2 to 3 years I have found the quality has dropped, but the price hasn't! I bought 2 bags last week and found it worse than ever. full of glass, hard plastic, polythene, stones and large bits of wood. I really expect better from Miracle gro. I have used up my homemade compost which I have to say was really good. It's amazing what you can produce from kitchen and garden waste. Happy gardening.
