Clover Traditional Gold Tub & Basket Compost 50L is a professional-quality peat-based growing medium specially formulated for hanging baskets, tubs and ornamental container displays. Made using high-quality screened and blended Irish peat, it combines slow-release fertiliser with a water-holding polymer to support sustained nutrition and more consistent moisture around developing roots.
Containers and hanging baskets place particular demands on a growing medium. Plants are growing within a restricted volume, can use nutrients rapidly and may dry much faster than plants established in open ground. Clover Traditional Gold Tub & Basket Compost is formulated specifically with these conditions in mind.
Its slow-release fertiliser provides a continuing source of nutrition, while Clover's water-holding polymer helps retain moisture within the compost. Together, these features make Traditional Gold particularly well suited to colourful summer displays and ornamental plants grown in containers.
Supplied in a 50 litre bag, Creation Horticulture supplies 80 x 50L bags per full pallet.
Hanging baskets and patio containers create a very different growing environment from open garden soil. Root space is limited, moisture reserves are smaller and vigorous plants can quickly consume available nutrients.
Traditional Gold Tub & Basket Compost addresses these challenges with two important additions: slow-release fertiliser and a water-holding polymer.
The fertiliser helps maintain nutrient availability as plants establish and develop, while the polymer helps the growing medium retain water. This is particularly valuable during warmer weather when established baskets and containers can dry rapidly.
This is a specialist ornamental container compost rather than a general soil improver. Typical applications include:
Plants with specialist pH, drainage or nutritional requirements may require a more specific growing medium, but Traditional Gold is designed to suit a wide range of ornamental container plants.
One of the standout features of Clover Traditional Gold Tub & Basket Compost is its water-holding polymer.
Hanging baskets are especially vulnerable to drying because they have a relatively small volume of growing medium exposed to moving air on several sides. Tubs and patio pots can experience similar problems during hot, bright or windy weather.
The water-holding polymer helps retain moisture within the growing medium, making more water available between irrigation events and helping maintain more consistent root-zone conditions.
It does not make the compost maintenance-free. Established summer baskets can still have a substantial water requirement, so moisture levels should be checked regularly and watering adjusted according to plant size, weather and container volume.
Traditional Gold contains slow-release fertiliser to help maintain nutrient availability as plants develop.
This is particularly useful for vigorous flowering plants because their nutrient demand increases substantially as they develop a larger canopy and begin producing repeated flushes of flowers.
The slow-release nutrition provides a strong foundation, although very vigorous plants maintained for an extended season may eventually benefit from supplementary feeding according to their individual requirements.
Where additional fertiliser is required, select a product appropriate for the plants being grown and follow the manufacturer's application instructions.
Fill the chosen basket, tub or planter with Clover Traditional Gold, allowing sufficient room for the root balls of the plants being installed. Position plants at an appropriate depth and fill carefully around the roots with fresh compost.
Gently firm the compost to remove large air gaps without heavily compacting the growing medium. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the compost around the roots.
Containers should have suitable drainage so excess water can escape. Once plants become established, check them frequently as their water requirements can increase significantly during active growth and warm weather.
Traditional Gold is particularly well suited to the high-impact flowering displays associated with summer tubs and baskets.
Popular ornamental container plants can produce substantial growth from a relatively small volume of compost. Providing suitable moisture management and sustained nutrition helps support the dense foliage and flowering expected from these displays.
It is suitable for mixed baskets and containers as well as single-variety displays, provided the plants selected have compatible growing and watering requirements.
Clover manufactures growing media for both professional horticulture and the retail gardening market. Its Traditional Gold products bring features associated with professional-quality growing media into formulations developed for home garden applications.
Traditional Gold Tub & Basket Compost uses high-quality screened and blended Irish peat and is formulated to provide a suitable balance of air, water and nutrients for ornamental container plants.
The inclusion of slow-release fertiliser and a water-holding polymer differentiates it from a basic general-purpose compost and makes it particularly relevant to the demands of baskets, tubs and seasonal container displays.
The 50L bag provides a practical retail size for customers planting hanging baskets, tubs and seasonal containers. Its specialist formulation also gives garden centres a clear step-up option from standard general-purpose compost for customers creating ornamental displays.
Creation Horticulture supplies 80 x 50L bags per full pallet, equivalent to a total nominal growing-media volume of 4,000 litres per pallet.
Clover is currently rolling out updated branded packaging across selected products. During this transition, customers may receive the previous packaging design, the newer design, or a mixture of both when ordering multiple bags.
This is a packaging change only. Customers will receive the same Clover Traditional Gold Tub & Basket Compost formulation regardless of which current packaging design is supplied.
