  1. Really good mix, thank you Kim. Just used similar for potting up my tomato seedlings. Am using a new brand of store-purchased compost, so as insurance I added some worm castings plus one handful of blood, fish and bonemeal to my mix. Last year I used home-made compost in my mix and my tomatoes did not crop well. I'm adding extra nutrients this year. Growing outdoors on South Coast of Sussex U.K.
