The Story
Westland John Innes Peat Free Ericaceous Compost 28L is a specialist loam-based compost designed specifically for acid-loving plants that thrive in low pH soils. Ideal for rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, heathers, and blueberries, this carefully balanced mix provides the perfect growing environment for healthy root development and vibrant growth.
This sustainable, peat-free formulation delivers all the trusted performance of traditional John Innes composts, while maintaining the correct acidity to support nutrient uptake.
