  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.

  2. Good idea storing it in container or something 🤔🤯… i throw some worm castings in too
