Clover Multi Purpose Compost 60L is a consistent, high-quality peat-based growing medium with a nutrient-enriched formulation and added wetting agent. Designed for seed sowing, potting, containers and hanging baskets, it provides a versatile all-round compost for gardeners, nurseries and professional horticultural users.
Clover Multi Purpose Compost combines a quality peat-based growing medium with plant nutrients and a wetting agent to help make routine watering easier. Its broad range of applications means the same compost can be used from early propagation through to potting-on and established container planting.
The 60 litre bag provides a practical balance between volume and handling, making it suitable for customers who need plenty of growing medium without moving the larger 75L format.
Creation Horticulture supplies the 60L size in trade quantities of 75 bags per full pallet.
Why choose Clover Multi Purpose Compost?
- Consistent multi-purpose compost - suitable for a wide variety of everyday growing applications.
- Nutrient-enriched formulation - contains plant nutrients to support establishment and healthy growth.
- Added wetting agent - helps water penetrate and distribute through the growing medium more effectively.
- Suitable for seed sowing - Clover specifically recommends Multi Purpose Compost for raising suitable plants from seed.
- Ideal for potting and potting-on - useful as plants progress from seedlings into larger containers.
- Suitable for pots and containers - a versatile choice for patio and garden container planting.
- Excellent for hanging baskets - the nutrient and wetting-agent formulation makes it suitable for seasonal basket planting.
- Versatile 60L format - substantial enough for multiple planting jobs while remaining manageable to handle.
- Professional and domestic use - suitable for garden centres, nurseries, landscapers and home gardeners.
What can Clover Multi Purpose Compost 60L be used for?
Clover Multi Purpose Compost is designed to cover many of the most common propagation, potting and container-growing jobs with a single growing medium.
- Seed sowing
- Raising suitable seedlings
- Potting-on young plants
- General potting
- Patio containers and planters
- Hanging baskets
- Seasonal bedding displays
- Suitable herbs and vegetables grown in containers
- General garden planting applications
Plants with specialist pH, drainage or nutritional requirements may benefit from a dedicated growing medium. Clover produces specialist composts for these applications, including ericaceous formulations for acid-loving plants.
Seed sowing & young plant propagation
Clover identifies seed sowing as one of the core applications for its Multi Purpose Compost. For larger seed trays and conventional propagation, it provides a convenient growing medium that can continue to be used as seedlings develop.
When sowing, fill the tray or pot and lightly level the surface without heavily compressing the compost. Sow according to the requirements of the plant and water carefully to avoid disturbing the seed.
For very small seed cells or particularly fine seed, the compost can be sieved where a finer particle size is required.
Potting & potting-on with Clover Multi Purpose
The same compost can be used as young plants move into larger pots, helping simplify growing-media requirements through different stages of production or garden planting.
When potting-on, choose a suitably sized container and place enough fresh Clover Multi Purpose Compost in the base to position the existing root ball at the correct height. Fill around the root ball, gently firm the compost and water after planting.
Avoid excessive compaction. Maintaining an appropriate balance between moisture and air around the root system is important for healthy plant establishment.
Ideal for pots, containers & hanging baskets
Container plants rely entirely on the growing medium within the pot for their root environment. Clover Multi Purpose Compost provides a versatile option for seasonal patio displays, planters and hanging baskets.
Its added wetting agent assists water absorption, which is particularly useful in containers where growing media can dry more rapidly during warm weather.
Always ensure containers have suitable drainage and adjust watering according to the plant, container volume and weather conditions. Hanging baskets and smaller pots normally require closer moisture monitoring than larger containers.
Added wetting agent for easier watering
A wetting agent is incorporated into Clover Multi Purpose Compost to help water move into the growing medium more effectively. This can be particularly helpful when the surface has started to dry and would otherwise become more difficult to rewet evenly.
The wetting agent does not remove the need for careful irrigation. Check plants regularly and water according to their individual requirements rather than following a fixed schedule.
Avoid both prolonged saturation and excessive drying. Good watering practice should maintain sufficient moisture while allowing an appropriate root environment for the plant being grown.
Nutrient-enriched for plant establishment
Clover Multi Purpose Compost contains a nutrient-enriched formulation to support plants as they establish in the growing medium.
Clover's published guidance recommends beginning supplementary liquid feeding after approximately four weeks for plants being maintained in pots and hanging baskets for longer periods.
Feeding requirements vary between plants, so choose an appropriate fertiliser and follow the feed manufacturer's instructions. Vigorous, flowering and heavy-cropping plants may have different nutritional requirements from slower-growing ornamental species.
