Born out of the fight to combat needless single-use plastics.

FertileFibre plastic-free DIY seed compost is the first plastic-free growing medium in the UK.

The FertileFibre plastic-free seed DIY compost should be rehydrated with 3 litres of water. This will increase to 9 litres of compost.

Information about the plastic-free DIY compost range is accessible here.
The DIY steps are available here.

Tips:

• Follow the plastic-free composting instructions to the letter. This will ensure that your product is most effective and gives you the best results
• As with other mediums and composts, your plants will, over a period of time, use up all of the available nutrients, so it’s a good idea to feed them to keep them productive and lush! We have two great organic fertilisers - our organic garden fertiliser pellets (a tried and tested slow-release fertiliser option) or our NuGro liquid feed (for an instant plant pick-me-up!)
• To add extra plant food whilst potting, add the recommended amount of general fertiliser. Alternatively, use a liquid feed such as NuGro
