Westland John Innes Peat Free No.1 Young Plant Compost 28L

Westland John Innes Peat Free No.1 Young Plant Compost 28 L is expertly designed to give seedlings and young plants the very best start. This specialist compost combines the trusted John Innes structure with an environmentally responsible peat-free formula, delivering the ideal growth medium for healthy root formation, vigorous early growth and strong plant establishment.

With its fine-tuned blending, this compost offers the perfect balance of moisture retention, drainage and aeration — so young plants can emerge and establish without stress. The inclusion of loam helps buffer nutrients and support root anchorage, while sand and grit ensure excess water drains away, reducing the risk of over-watering. A zinc complex is added as a biostimulant to promote healthy early growth, and in some bags the addition of bio-char (Carbon Gold®) further enhances nutrient retention and root contact.  Ideal for potting on seedlings, young plants, cuttings and early-stage transplants, it gives plants the stable environment they need before moving on to multi-purpose or potting-on composts.
