Why choose John Innes compost?
John Innes compost has been a favourite among gardeners for generations thanks to its reliable, soil-based formulation. Different John Innes blends are designed for each stage of a plant's development, providing the right balance of nutrients, drainage and moisture retention. Modern peat-free John Innes composts offer the same trusted performance while supporting more sustainable gardening practices.
