The Growers Own Black Rattan Hanging Basket 12" Round - 30 x 15cm is a decorative hanging basket designed for seasonal planting in gardens, garden centres, nurseries and landscape displays.
The round profile and black rattan-style finish provide a strong backdrop for flowering and foliage plants.
Sold individually.
Key benefits
- 12" round hanging basket
- Stated dimensions: 30 x 15cm
- Black rattan-style finish
- Sold individually
- Commercial box quantity: 20 baskets
- Suitable for seasonal flowering and foliage displays
Creating a strong seasonal display
Choose plants whose mature habit suits the round basket profile. Trailing plants can soften the edge, while upright or mounded varieties add height and structure. Mixed planting works best where plants share similar light, watering and feeding requirements.
Use a quality container growing medium and fill evenly without excessive compaction, leaving practical watering space at the top.
Watering & feeding
Hanging baskets are exposed on all sides and can dry rapidly in warm, bright or windy conditions. Check moisture frequently and water according to actual plant demand rather than a fixed timetable.
As plants establish, nutrient demand increases. Use a feeding programme appropriate to the plants and growing medium.
Positioning & hanging safely
Choose a position appropriate to the plants and consider wind exposure. The chain, hook, bracket and fixing point must be suitable for the weight of the fully planted and freshly watered basket, not simply the empty container.
Inspect hanging components periodically and replace worn, distorted or corroded parts where necessary.
Commercial ordering
This SKU is sold as one basket. The commercial box quantity is 20 baskets; that logistics quantity is not the customer selling unit.

Clover Blended Farmyard Manure 40L is a completely natural and organic garden fertiliser and soil improver, ideal for enriching garden soil with organic matter while supporting healthy plant growth. Suitable for planting, mulching and soil conditioning, it is a versatile choice for flowers, fruit, vegetables, roses, trees and shrubs.
Farmyard manure has long been used to improve cultivated soils by adding valuable organic matter. As it becomes incorporated into the soil, it contributes humus and nutrients while helping improve the physical condition of the root zone.
Clover's ready-to-use blended farmyard manure provides gardeners with a convenient bagged soil improver that can be used across beds, borders, vegetable plots, allotments and other cultivated areas.
Supplied in a 40 litre bag, Creation Horticulture supplies 80 x 40L bags per full pallet.
Why choose Clover Blended Farmyard Manure?
- Natural organic garden fertiliser - adds organic matter and naturally occurring nutrients to cultivated soil.
- Effective soil improver - useful for improving the condition and structure of garden soils.
- Source of organic matter and humus - helps build and maintain productive garden soil.
- Suitable for planting - can be incorporated into soil when preparing beds, borders and planting areas.
- Useful as a mulch - can be applied around established plants as part of routine garden maintenance.
- Ideal for fruit and vegetables - useful when preparing vegetable plots and productive growing areas.
- Suitable for ornamental planting - use around flowers, roses, trees and shrubs where appropriate.
- Versatile garden application - suitable for domestic gardens, allotments and larger growing areas.
Improve soil with organic matter
Organic matter plays an important role in maintaining healthy garden soil. Regular incorporation of suitable organic material can improve soil structure and create better conditions for root development.
Clover Blended Farmyard Manure provides a convenient source of organic matter and humus that can be incorporated into cultivated ground during soil preparation.
In lighter soils, additional organic matter can help improve moisture and nutrient retention. In heavier soils, it can contribute towards a more workable structure when incorporated as part of a wider soil-improvement programme.
Soil improvement is gradual rather than instant. Regular additions of organic matter over successive growing seasons can help maintain productive, workable garden soil.
Where can Clover Farmyard Manure be used?
Clover Blended Farmyard Manure is suitable for a broad range of garden and allotment applications, including:
- Vegetable plots
- Allotments
- Flower beds and borders
- Fruit-growing areas
- Rose beds
- Tree and shrub planting areas
- General soil improvement
- Mulching around established plants
- Preparing ground before planting
The requirements of individual plants should always be considered. Some plants prefer relatively low-fertility conditions or have specialist soil requirements, so manure does not need to be added indiscriminately to every part of the garden.
Farmyard manure for vegetable gardens & allotments
Vegetable plots and allotments can benefit considerably from regular additions of organic matter, particularly where crops are grown intensively year after year.
Clover Blended Farmyard Manure can be incorporated into suitable beds as part of soil preparation, helping replenish organic matter and improve the condition of cultivated ground.
It is particularly useful when preparing areas for crops that benefit from rich, moisture-retentive soil. Crop requirements vary, however, so the timing and quantity of manure used should be appropriate for the plants being grown.
Using farmyard manure when planting
Clover Blended Farmyard Manure can be used as part of ground preparation before establishing flowers, fruit, vegetables, roses, trees and shrubs.
When preparing a bed or border, incorporate the manure into the existing soil rather than treating it as a replacement for soil or potting compost. This adds organic material throughout the cultivated layer and helps improve the overall root environment.
When planting individual trees and shrubs, manure can be used as part of wider soil preparation, but avoid placing concentrated manure directly against sensitive roots or stems.
Using Clover Farmyard Manure as a mulch
Farmyard manure can also be used as an organic surface mulch around suitable established plants.
Applied over the soil surface, organic material helps protect the ground and gradually becomes incorporated into the upper soil layers through natural biological activity and cultivation.
When mulching around trees, shrubs and other established plants, leave a clear space immediately around stems, crowns and tree trunks rather than piling organic material directly against them.
Farmyard manure vs compost
Clover Blended Farmyard Manure and Clover Multi Purpose Compost perform different jobs in the garden.
Farmyard manure is primarily a fertiliser and soil improver. It is intended to add organic matter and nutrients to existing garden soil and can also be used for suitable mulching applications.
Multi-purpose compost is a growing medium designed for applications such as pots, containers, potting-on and seed sowing.
Clover Farmyard Manure should therefore not be treated as a direct substitute for potting compost when filling containers.
Farmyard manure vs soil conditioner
Both products can improve garden soil, but they have slightly different roles.
Clover Blended Farmyard Manure combines its soil-improving properties with its role as a natural organic garden fertiliser, making it particularly useful where both organic matter and fertility are required.
A dedicated soil conditioner is more specifically focused on adding organic fibre and humus to improve soil structure and moisture management.
About Clover
Clover produces growing media, soil improvers and related products for professional horticulture and the retail gardening market. Its retail range includes multi-purpose and specialist composts alongside products designed specifically for improving existing garden soil.
Blended Farmyard Manure provides a traditional approach to soil improvement in a convenient bagged format, making it suitable for gardeners, allotment growers and professional users who want to introduce organic matter into cultivated ground.
40L Farmyard Manure for garden centres & professional users
The 40L bag provides a practical retail format for garden centres while also being convenient for customers carrying out larger soil-improvement and planting projects.
Creation Horticulture supplies 80 x 40L bags per full pallet, providing a total nominal volume of 3,200 litres per pallet.
Clover packaging update
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 Blended Farmyard Manure regardless of which current packaging design is supplied.

Clover Blended Farmyard Manure 40L FAQs
What is Clover Blended Farmyard Manure?
It is a completely natural and organic garden fertiliser and soil improver supplied in a convenient 40L bag. Is farmyard manure the same as multi-purpose compost?
No. Farmyard manure is primarily used to improve and enrich existing soil. Multi-purpose compost is a growing medium intended for jobs such as potting and container growing. Can I use Clover Farmyard Manure in a vegetable garden?
Yes. It is suitable for vegetable plots and allotments and can be incorporated into suitable beds as part of soil preparation. Is Clover Farmyard Manure suitable for roses?
Yes. Clover identifies farmyard manure as suitable for flowers, fruit and vegetables as well as roses, trees and shrubs. Can farmyard manure improve clay soil?
Adding organic matter can help improve the structure and workability of heavy soils over time. For best results, soil improvement should be viewed as an ongoing process rather than a one-off treatment. Can Clover Farmyard Manure be used as mulch?
Yes. It can be used for suitable mulching applications around established plants. Keep the material away from direct contact with stems, crowns and tree trunks. Can I fill pots with farmyard manure?
Farmyard manure is not intended to replace a formulated potting compost. For container growing, choose an appropriate Clover growing medium and use manure only where suitable for the particular plant and application. Why might the Clover bag I receive look different from the product image?
Clover is transitioning selected products to updated branded packaging, so either current packaging design may be supplied during the changeover. How many Clover Farmyard Manure 40L bags are supplied per pallet?
A full Creation Horticulture pallet contains 80 x 40L bags, providing a total nominal volume of 3,200 litres.

Growers Own Ground Cover Fixing Pegs are practical plastic anchoring pegs designed for securing weed control fabric, ground cover, fleece and lightweight garden sheeting directly into the soil. Supplied in a bulk pack of 1,000, they are particularly suited to nurseries, professional growers, landscapers and larger garden projects where a substantial quantity of reliable fixings is required.
Each peg combines a pointed end for straightforward ground insertion with multiple barbs along the shaft. Once pushed into suitable soil, the barbed profile helps resist the peg pulling back out, while the broad head holds the covering material against the ground.
The large 1,000-piece pack provides a cost-effective option for installing extensive runs of ground cover or keeping a useful stock of replacement fixings available for ongoing maintenance and seasonal work.
Why choose Growers Own Ground Cover Fixing Pegs?
- Bulk pack of 1,000 - ideal for professional growing, landscaping and larger ground-cover installations.
- Barbed shaft design - multiple projections help the peg grip the surrounding soil and resist working loose.
- Broad fixing head - helps hold ground cover and fabric securely against the soil surface.
- Pointed end - designed for straightforward insertion into suitable cultivated ground.
- Plastic construction - lightweight, practical and resistant to the corrosion associated with untreated metal fixings.
- Suitable for weed control fabric - secure membrane edges, joins and intermediate sections.
- Useful with horticultural fleece - helps anchor protective coverings around beds and planted areas.
- Ground cover fixing - suitable for a variety of landscape fabrics and lightweight garden coverings.
- Easy to install - simple push-in design makes large installations quicker and more convenient.
- Professional quantity - 1,000 pegs provides ample stock for nurseries, growers, landscapers and contractors.
Ideal for ground cover & weed control fabric
Ground cover performs best when it remains properly positioned and close to the soil surface. Unsecured edges can lift, while loose areas of fabric can move during installation or become displaced by wind and routine work around the growing area.
Growers Own Ground Cover Fixing Pegs provide straightforward mechanical fixing points around the perimeter of the material and throughout larger covered areas. Additional pegs can also be used around overlaps, joins, corners and other areas where extra restraint is required.
| Weed control fabric | Secure weed membrane around beds, borders and landscaped areas. |
|---|---|
| Ground cover | Useful for anchoring larger areas of woven or non-woven ground-cover material. |
| Horticultural fleece | Can be used to secure suitable fleece and lightweight protective coverings at ground level. |
| Nurseries | Bulk pack format suits larger-scale ground-cover installation and ongoing maintenance. |
| Landscaping | Useful for fixing landscape fabric beneath suitable mulches and planted areas. |
Barbed design for improved ground grip
The shaft incorporates a series of angled barbs designed to increase resistance once the peg has been inserted into the soil. This gives the fixing more grip than a completely smooth-sided peg and helps keep the covering material in position.
At the top, the wider head spreads the fixing point over a larger area of the material. At the opposite end, the tapered point helps the peg enter suitable soil cleanly.
This simple design makes the pegs useful for both initial installations and subsequent maintenance where individual fixings need to be added or replaced.
How to use ground cover fixing pegs
Position the ground cover or membrane and tension it sufficiently to remove excessive slack. Insert fixing pegs through the material and into the soil, positioning them around edges and at suitable intervals across the installation.
Pay particular attention to corners, joins, overlaps and exposed edges, as these are typically the areas most likely to lift or move. Larger installations may require additional intermediate fixing points to keep the material evenly secured.
Soil conditions can affect how easily a plastic peg can be installed. Avoid forcing the peg directly into stones, compacted rubble or exceptionally hard ground, as excessive impact can damage plastic fixings.
Bulk 1,000 pack for professional use
Large ground-cover installations can require considerably more fixings than expected once perimeter edges, joins, overlaps and intermediate fixing points are taken into account. The 1,000-piece pack is designed for users who need ground-cover pegs in meaningful quantities.
It is particularly useful for commercial nurseries, professional growers, landscapers, grounds maintenance teams and contractors, as well as customers completing substantial garden projects.
Keeping additional pegs available also makes it easier to replace missing fixings or add extra anchoring points during routine maintenance.

Growers Own Ground Cover Fixing Pegs FAQs
How many ground cover pegs are supplied?
Each pack contains 1,000 plastic fixing pegs, making this a useful bulk option for larger installations and professional users. What are these fixing pegs designed for?
They are primarily designed for securing ground cover and weed control fabric to suitable soil. Can these pegs be used with weed membrane?
Yes. Weed control membrane and landscape fabric are key applications for this style of fixing peg. Can I use the pegs with horticultural fleece?
They can be used to help anchor suitable fleece and lightweight protective coverings at ground level. Why do the pegs have barbs?
The barbs increase resistance against the surrounding soil after insertion, helping the peg remain anchored rather than pulling out as easily as a smooth-sided fixing. Where should ground cover pegs be positioned?
Use fixing points around the perimeter of the covering and pay particular attention to corners, joins and overlaps. Additional intermediate pegs can be added where greater restraint is required. Can these be used by professional landscapers and nurseries?
Yes. The 1,000-piece bulk quantity is particularly suitable for professional growers, nurseries, landscapers and contractors completing larger installations. Can the pegs be installed in very hard ground?
They are designed for insertion into suitable soil. Avoid forcing plastic pegs directly into stones, rubble or exceptionally hard ground, as this can damage the fixing. Are plastic ground cover pegs affected by rust?
No. As the pegs are plastic rather than untreated metal, they do not rust when exposed to moisture in the soil.

Van der Knaap Peat Free Nursery Stock 70L is a professional peat-free growing medium developed for container-grown nursery stock. Designed to provide the root-zone structure and water management required by longer-term container crops, it offers commercial growers a professional substrate for peat-free nursery production.
Nursery stock places very different demands on a growing medium compared with short-cycle crops. Plants may remain in their containers for extended periods, making reliable structure, drainage, moisture management and root-zone aeration particularly important.
Van der Knaap's Nursery Stock formulation provides an open, well-structured and free-draining growing environment designed to support strong root development and healthy plant growth throughout the production cycle.
Supplied in 70L bags with 39 bags per pallet, it is suited to professional nurseries, commercial growers, landscapers and other horticultural businesses moving towards peat-free container production.
Why choose Van der Knaap Peat Free Nursery Stock?
- 100% peat-free growing medium - a professional substrate for growers moving away from conventional peat-based production.
- Developed for nursery stock - designed around the requirements of container-grown nursery plants.
- Open substrate structure - helps maintain air within the root zone and supports healthy root development.
- Effective water management - combines moisture availability with a free-draining structure.
- Suitable for longer-term container crops - where maintaining substrate structure throughout production is particularly important.
- Supports strong root development - providing a productive environment for establishment and continued growth.
- Suitable for container and decorative pots - ideal for professional nursery and ornamental plant production.
- Professional horticultural formulation - developed by a specialist international producer of growing and rooting media.
- 70L trade bag - practical format for professional nursery use.
- 39 bags per pallet - suitable for commercial volume purchasing and production planning.
Developed for professional nursery stock production
Container-grown nursery stock requires a substrate capable of performing over a longer production period. As roots develop and the crop increases in size, the physical characteristics of the growing medium become increasingly important.
An appropriate nursery substrate needs to provide sufficient moisture for the crop while retaining enough air-filled space around the root system and allowing excess irrigation water to drain.
Van der Knaap Peat Free Nursery Stock is formulated around these requirements, providing a structured root-zone environment for professional container production.
Professional peat-free growing media
Replacing peat in professional growing media involves considerably more than substituting one raw material for another. Different renewable materials have different physical, chemical and water-holding characteristics, which can change how a crop needs to be irrigated and fed.
Van der Knaap actively researches renewable and circular substrate materials and evaluates how changes in growing media affect crop performance. This includes assessing physical and chemical characteristics and carrying out practical cultivation trials.
The result is a professional approach to peat-free growing media that considers both the composition of the substrate and how that substrate performs within a real horticultural production system.
Root-zone structure & water management
Water and air compete for pore space within every growing medium. A substrate that remains excessively wet can restrict root-zone aeration, while one that dries too quickly can make maintaining consistent moisture difficult.
The open, free-draining structure of Van der Knaap Peat Free Nursery Stock is designed to provide an effective balance for container-grown plants, supporting root development while allowing growers to manage irrigation according to crop demand.
As with any professional peat-free substrate, irrigation should be based on the actual moisture condition within the container rather than simply following a watering programme developed for a previous peat-based growing medium.
Suitable applications
Van der Knaap Peat Free Nursery Stock is primarily intended for professional container nursery production and is particularly useful where plants require a structured growing medium for an extended crop cycle.
- Commercial nursery stock production
- Container-grown ornamental plants
- Shrubs and woody plants
- Perennial container production
- Young trees and larger nursery plants
- Container pots
- Larger decorative pots
- Professional landscaping plant production
Managing peat-free growing media successfully
Professional peat-free substrates may require a different approach to irrigation and nutrition compared with familiar peat-based mixes. The characteristics of the substrate, crop, container size, weather and production environment should all be considered.
Growers should monitor moisture throughout the root zone and adjust irrigation frequency and volume accordingly. The surface of a growing medium does not always provide an accurate indication of moisture deeper within the container.
Nutrition should likewise be matched to the crop and production system. Where controlled-release fertiliser or liquid feeding is used, the programme should account for crop requirements, irrigation strategy, container size and intended production period.
About Van der Knaap
Van der Knaap is an international specialist in rooting and growing media for professional horticulture. The company works with growers across a wide range of crops, developing substrate solutions around crop requirements and practical cultivation conditions.
Its expertise extends across potting soils and professional substrates, rooting media, coco products and organic fertilisers. Van der Knaap works with a range of natural substrate materials and develops mixtures according to the physical and nutritional requirements of different crops and production systems.
Research and crop testing form an important part of this approach. At its own 'de Kas' innovation centre, Van der Knaap carries out cultivation trials to investigate growing media, rooting products and new raw materials under practical growing conditions.
This work is particularly relevant as professional horticulture moves towards reduced-peat and peat-free production. Van der Knaap has been researching renewable and circular substrate materials, examining characteristics such as structure, moisture behaviour, pH and nutrition alongside their effects on actual crop growth.
For professional growers, that combination of substrate manufacturing, crop knowledge, research and practical cultivation experience makes Van der Knaap a strong partner when moving towards new growing media and more sustainable production systems.

Van der Knaap Peat Free Nursery Stock FAQs
Is Van der Knaap Nursery Stock completely peat free?
Yes. This Nursery Stock growing medium is a 100% peat-free formulation intended for professional horticultural production. What is this growing medium designed for?
It is designed primarily for container-grown nursery stock where good root-zone structure, drainage and moisture management are required throughout the production cycle. Is this the same as general-purpose peat-free compost?
No. This is a professional nursery stock substrate formulated around the requirements of container-grown plants rather than a general-purpose retail compost. Why is an open substrate structure important?
An open structure helps maintain air within the root zone while allowing excess irrigation water to drain. This is particularly important for plants remaining in containers for extended periods. Is it suitable for shrubs and ornamental plants?
Yes. The formulation is intended for nursery stock and is suitable for appropriate container-grown shrubs, ornamentals and other longer-term nursery crops. Can it be used in larger plant pots?
Yes. Van der Knaap Peat Free Nursery Stock is suitable for container pots and larger decorative pots used in professional plant production. Will I need to change my irrigation when switching from peat?
Potentially. Peat-free substrates can have different moisture and drainage characteristics from peat-based growing media. Monitor the root zone and adjust irrigation according to the substrate, crop, container and growing conditions. Can controlled-release fertiliser be used with this growing medium?
Controlled-release fertiliser can form part of a nursery nutrition programme where appropriate. Product choice, rate and longevity should be matched to the crop, container, irrigation regime and intended production period. Who is Van der Knaap?
Van der Knaap is a specialist producer of professional rooting and growing media. Its expertise includes substrates, rooting products, coco products and crop-focused growing solutions for professional horticulture. Does Van der Knaap test its growing media?
Van der Knaap conducts research and cultivation trials at its 'de Kas' innovation centre, including work with new renewable and circular raw materials and peat-free rooting and growing media. How much growing medium is in each bag?
Each bag contains a nominal 70 litres of Van der Knaap Peat Free Nursery Stock growing medium. How many 70L bags are supplied on a pallet?
A full pallet contains 39 x 70L bags, equivalent to a total nominal growing media volume of 2,730 litres.

Clover Peat Free Multi-Purpose Compost 40L is a high-quality 100% peat-free growing medium made from organic matter blended with woodfibre and coir, with added perlite and 6 months slow release feed. Developed as a versatile alternative to traditional peat-based compost, it is suitable for a wide range of everyday gardening and container-growing applications.
Clover has developed this peat-free formulation to provide the physical structure, moisture management and nutrition required by a broad range of plants without using peat. The blend combines several complementary growing-media ingredients rather than relying on a single peat substitute.
Woodfibre and coir contribute to the structure of the growing medium, while added perlite helps maintain air space within the root zone. Clover also incorporates 6 months slow release feed to provide sustained plant nutrition throughout an extended growing period.
Supplied in a 40 litre bag, Creation Horticulture supplies 100 x 40L bags per full pallet.
Why choose Clover Peat Free Multi-Purpose Compost?
- 100% peat free - a versatile growing medium formulated without peat.
- Organic matter base - forms an important part of Clover's peat-free growing-media blend.
- Blended with woodfibre - contributes to the physical structure of the compost.
- Contains coir - another key component of Clover's balanced peat-free formulation.
- Added perlite - helps maintain an open, aerated root environment.
- 6 months slow release feed - provides sustained nutrition for plants over an extended growing period.
- Multi-purpose formulation - designed as a versatile compost for a wide range of everyday growing applications.
- 40L retail bag - practical for pots, containers and seasonal garden projects.
What's in Clover Peat Free Multi-Purpose Compost?
Clover's current Peat Free Multi-Purpose Compost is made using a carefully blended combination of organic matter, woodfibre, coir and perlite.
Using several different materials allows each component to contribute different physical properties to the growing medium. This is particularly important in peat-free compost, where maintaining a suitable balance between moisture retention, drainage and air availability is essential for healthy root development.
The inclusion of perlite helps create additional air-filled pore space within the compost, while the fibrous components contribute to the overall structure of the mix.
6 months slow release feed
A major feature of Clover Peat Free Multi-Purpose Compost is its 6 months slow release feed.
Rather than relying solely on a short initial nutrient charge, the incorporated slow release fertiliser is designed to provide plant nutrition progressively over an extended period.
This makes the compost particularly convenient for container plants and seasonal displays that will remain in the same growing medium for several months.
The stated feeding period should not be treated as a guarantee that every plant will require identical nutrition for exactly six months. Nutrient demand varies considerably according to plant species, container size, growing conditions and rate of growth.
What can Clover Peat Free Multi-Purpose Compost be used for?
As a multi-purpose growing medium, this compost is suitable for a broad range of everyday garden and container-growing applications, including:
- Potting and potting-on
- Patio pots and containers
- Window boxes
- Planters
- Seasonal bedding plants
- Flowering container plants
- Suitable vegetables and edible plants
- General garden and container growing
Plants with specialist pH or growing-medium requirements should be matched with an appropriate specialist compost. Clover also produces dedicated peat-free formulations for applications including ericaceous plants, tubs and baskets and John Innes-style growing.
Watering peat-free compost
Peat-free growing media can behave differently from traditional peat-based compost, so it is worth checking the compost itself rather than automatically following an established watering routine.
Check moisture within the root zone before watering and apply enough water to wet the growing medium thoroughly without leaving containers permanently saturated. Always use pots and planters with appropriate drainage.
Water demand will increase as plants become larger and can change rapidly during warm, sunny or windy conditions. Hanging and exposed containers generally require particularly close attention during summer.
Using Clover Peat Free Compost for potting
When potting or potting-on, choose a clean container with suitable drainage and enough room for continued root development.
Add fresh Clover Peat Free Multi-Purpose Compost, position the plant at an appropriate depth and carefully fill around the root ball. Gently firm the compost to remove large air pockets without heavily compacting the growing medium.
Water thoroughly after potting and allow excess water to drain. Continue to monitor moisture as the plant establishes, adjusting irrigation to suit the crop, container and growing conditions.
Why is perlite added to the compost?
Perlite is deliberately included in Clover's peat-free formulation. The lightweight material helps create pore space within the compost, supporting air availability around developing roots.
This is particularly valuable in container growing, where the entire root system is restricted to a relatively small volume of growing medium.
The small white particles visible throughout the compost are therefore a normal and beneficial part of the formulation.
Peat-free vs traditional peat-based multi-purpose compost
The key difference is the material used to create the growing medium. Traditional Clover Multi Purpose Compost is peat based, whereas this product is completely peat free.
Clover's peat-free formulation instead combines organic matter with woodfibre, coir and perlite. The aim is to provide the root-zone structure and growing conditions required by plants using a blend that does not contain peat.
Gardeners accustomed to peat-based compost may notice differences in texture and watering behaviour. Checking moisture regularly and responding to the condition of the growing medium is preferable to watering purely by habit.
About Clover's peat-free range
Clover manufactures growing media for both professional horticulture and the retail gardening market and has developed a dedicated range of peat-free retail composts.
Alongside this Multi-Purpose Compost, the current peat-free range includes specialist formulations for John Innes-style growing, tubs and baskets, ericaceous plants and other applications, allowing gardeners to choose a peat-free growing medium suited to the plants they are growing.

Clover Peat Free Multi-Purpose Compost 40L FAQs
Is Clover Peat Free Multi-Purpose Compost completely peat free?
Yes. Clover describes this product as a 100% peat-free multi-purpose compost. What is Clover Peat Free Compost made from?
The current formulation is made from organic matter blended with woodfibre and coir, with added perlite. Does Clover Peat Free Compost contain fertiliser?
Yes. The current formulation contains 6 months slow release feed to provide sustained plant nutrition during the growing period. What are the white particles in the compost?
They are perlite. Perlite is deliberately incorporated into the formulation to help maintain an open structure and air space around developing roots. Can I use Clover Peat Free Compost for pots and containers?
Yes. As a multi-purpose growing medium it is well suited to general potting, potting-on, planters and container growing. Do I water peat-free compost differently?
Peat-free growing media can have different moisture characteristics from peat-based compost. Check the compost regularly and water according to actual root-zone moisture, plant demand and weather conditions rather than relying on a fixed schedule. Does peat-free compost look or feel different?
It can. Clover's formulation uses organic matter, woodfibre, coir and perlite rather than peat, so its appearance, texture and watering characteristics can differ from a traditional peat-based compost. Does Clover make other peat-free composts?
Yes. Clover's peat-free retail range includes several specialist formulations alongside its Multi-Purpose Compost, including products developed for more specific growing applications. How many Clover Peat Free Multi-Purpose Compost 40L bags are supplied per pallet?

Clover John Innes No.3 Compost 25L is a traditional loam-based compost formulated for the final potting of established and mature plants. Designed for plants with greater nutritional demands, it provides a substantial growing medium for tomatoes, chrysanthemums, shrubs, tubs, baskets and a wide range of established fruit, vegetable and ornamental plants.
John Innes No.3 represents the most nutrient-rich stage of the traditional numbered John Innes potting compost system. It is intended for established plants that have progressed beyond the earlier propagation and potting-on stages and require a growing medium suited to continued development in larger containers.
The loam-based formulation gives the compost useful weight, structure and stability, making it particularly well suited to mature container plants, shrubs and vigorous crops that may remain in the same pot for an extended period.
Supplied in a 25 litre bag, Creation Horticulture supplies 80 x 25L bags per full pallet.
Why choose Clover John Innes No.3 Compost?
- Traditional John Innes No.3 formulation - a proven loam-based growing medium for established plants.
- Designed for final potting - particularly suited to mature plants moving into their longer-term containers.
- Higher nutrient formulation - designed for established plants with greater nutritional requirements.
- Loam-based structure - provides body, weight and stability within larger pots and containers.
- Ideal for tomatoes - Clover specifically recommends No.3 for mature tomato plants.
- Suitable for shrubs - a strong choice for established woody plants grown in containers.
- Suitable for tubs and baskets - provides a substantial growing medium for mature seasonal planting.
- Ideal for established ornamentals - suitable for chrysanthemums and a wide range of mature flowering plants.
- 25L bag - convenient for repotting individual mature plants and larger containers.
What is John Innes No.3 Compost used for?
Clover John Innes No.3 is specifically formulated for the final potting-on stage of mature plants. Clover identifies the compost as suitable for:
- Tomatoes
- Chrysanthemums
- Shrubs
- Tubs and larger containers
- Baskets
- Established fruit plants
- Mature vegetable plants
- Established ornamental plants
Its stronger formulation makes it particularly useful once plants have moved beyond seedling and young-plant stages and require more substantial nutrition and root support.
What does John Innes No.3 mean?
John Innes is not a brand name. It refers to a traditional system of loam-based compost formulations designed around different stages of plant development.
Within the numbered John Innes potting range, the nutrient level increases as the number rises. This allows growers to select a formulation that better matches the maturity and nutritional requirements of the plant.
John Innes No.3 is intended for established and mature plants and is traditionally used for final potting, where plants may remain in the same container for considerably longer than they would during propagation or early potting-on.
John Innes No.1, No.2 & No.3 - what's the difference?
The numbered John Innes composts are designed for progressively more established plants.
| John Innes No.1 | Designed for sensitive subjects, pricking out seedlings and bedding plants. |
|---|---|
| John Innes No.2 | Designed for potting-on established bedding and vegetable plants as their nutritional requirements increase. |
| John Innes No.3 | Designed for final potting of mature plants, including tomatoes, chrysanthemums, tubs, baskets and shrubs. |
Choosing the appropriate stage helps match the growing medium to the plant rather than using the strongest formulation unnecessarily for very young plants.
Ideal for mature container plants
Mature plants grown in containers need more than simply a space for their roots. The growing medium must provide physical support, retain appropriate moisture and nutrients and remain sufficiently stable as the plant develops.
The loam content of John Innes No.3 gives it considerably more body than many lightweight potting media. This additional weight can also be useful when growing larger or top-heavy plants in pots, helping provide a more substantial base around the root system.
It is particularly useful for plants that are reaching their final container size and will not be repeatedly potted-on during the same growing cycle.
John Innes No.3 for tomatoes
Tomatoes are specifically listed by Clover as a suitable crop for John Innes No.3. Once established, tomato plants develop substantial root systems and become increasingly demanding as flowering and fruit production progress.
No.3 provides a substantial loam-based medium for established tomato plants grown in suitable containers. As with any container-grown tomato crop, watering and nutrition should continue to be monitored throughout the season.
Mature fruiting plants can eventually require supplementary feeding as the nutrients available within a finite volume of compost are used.
John Innes No.3 for shrubs & long-term containers
Established shrubs can remain in containers for several seasons, making the physical properties of the growing medium particularly important.
A loam-based compost provides useful weight and structure around established root systems, making John Innes No.3 a popular choice for suitable mature shrubs and other long-term container specimens.
When repotting, choose a container with suitable drainage and avoid moving a plant into a dramatically oversized pot. A modest increase in container size generally makes moisture management easier while providing fresh rooting space.
How to use Clover John Innes No.3 Compost
Choose a clean container with adequate drainage and sufficient space for the plant's established root system. Add fresh compost to the base before carefully removing the plant from its previous pot.
Position the plant at approximately the same planting depth at which it was previously growing. Fill around the root ball with Clover John Innes No.3, gently firming the compost to remove large air pockets without heavily compacting the growing medium.
Water thoroughly after potting and allow excess water to drain. Continue to monitor moisture according to plant requirements, container size, weather and growing conditions.
What about acid-loving plants?
Standard John Innes No.3 should not automatically be used for plants that specifically require acidic growing conditions.
Rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, heathers and other lime-hating plants have specialist pH requirements. For these plants, choose an appropriate ericaceous growing medium rather than assuming a standard mature-plant compost is suitable.
About Clover John Innes composts
Clover produces a range of traditional John Innes growing media for different stages of plant development. The range progresses from specialist seed compost through No.1 and No.2 to the stronger No.3 formulation for final potting.
This staged approach allows gardeners and professional growers to select a loam-based compost appropriate to the maturity of the plant and its changing nutritional requirements.
25L John Innes No.3 for garden centres & professional growers
The 25L format is convenient for mature container plants, shrubs and final potting applications while remaining manageable for retail customers and professional users.
Creation Horticulture supplies 80 x 25L bags per full pallet, providing a total nominal growing-media volume of 2,000 litres per pallet.

Clover Ericaceous Compost 75L is a specialist peat-based growing medium formulated for acid-loving and lime-sensitive plants. Its acidic formulation provides the conditions required by popular ericaceous plants including rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, heathers and blueberries.
Acid-loving plants can struggle when grown in ordinary garden soils or general-purpose composts with an unsuitable pH. Clover Ericaceous Compost provides a dedicated growing medium designed around their requirements, helping create an appropriate root environment for healthy establishment and continued growth.
The formulation includes essential nutrients, trace elements and a wetting agent, combining plant nutrition with improved water distribution through the growing medium.
Supplied in a generous 75 litre bag, it is suitable for planting acid-loving species in pots, planters and other appropriate growing situations. Creation Horticulture supplies 60 x 75L bags per full pallet.
Why choose Clover Ericaceous Compost?
- Specially formulated for acid-loving plants - provides a more appropriate root environment for lime-sensitive species.
- Acidic growing medium - designed for plants that perform poorly in alkaline or lime-rich conditions.
- Ideal for rhododendrons and azaleas - two of the most popular groups of ericaceous garden plants.
- Excellent for camellias and heathers - suitable for a broad range of ornamental acid-loving plants.
- Suitable for blueberries - provides an acidic growing medium for this popular fruit crop.
- Contains essential nutrients - formulated to support plant establishment and healthy growth.
- Includes trace elements - part of Clover's specialist nutritional formulation.
- Added wetting agent - assists even water distribution through the growing medium.
- Large 75L format - useful for larger containers, multiple plants and seasonal planting projects.
- Specialist Clover growing media - produced by a manufacturer supplying both retail gardening and professional horticulture.
Which plants need ericaceous compost?
Ericaceous compost is designed for plants that prefer acidic growing conditions and are often described as acid-loving, lime-hating or calcifuge plants.
Popular plants that can benefit from a suitable ericaceous growing medium include:
- Rhododendrons
- Azaleas
- Camellias
- Heathers
- Blueberries
- Magnolias that prefer acidic conditions
- Other suitable lime-sensitive ornamental and fruiting plants
Not every plant requires acidic compost. For general planting, a multi-purpose or crop-specific growing medium may be more appropriate, so it is worth checking the requirements of the species before planting.
Why do acid-loving plants need specialist compost?
Soil and compost pH influences the availability of nutrients around plant roots. Ericaceous plants are adapted to acidic conditions and can struggle when the root environment becomes too alkaline.
One of the most recognisable symptoms is yellowing between the veins of younger leaves. This can occur when an unsuitable root-zone pH restricts the plant's ability to access important nutrients, even when those nutrients are physically present in the growing medium.
Using a dedicated ericaceous compost from the outset provides a more appropriate environment for these plants than relying on a standard general-purpose growing medium.
Growing ericaceous plants in containers
Container growing is particularly useful for acid-loving plants where the natural garden soil is unsuitable. Instead of trying to alter an entire garden bed, a container allows the root environment to be managed using an appropriate specialist compost.
Choose a container large enough for the plant's developing root system and make sure it has adequate drainage. Fill with Clover Ericaceous Compost, position the plant at the correct depth and gently firm the growing medium around the root ball before watering thoroughly.
As permanent container plants mature, they may eventually need repotting into a larger container or refreshing with suitable ericaceous growing medium.
Watering acid-loving plants
Clover Ericaceous Compost contains a wetting agent to help distribute moisture through the growing medium, but watering frequency should always be adjusted to the plant, container size and prevailing weather conditions.
Avoid allowing container-grown plants to remain permanently waterlogged, but do not repeatedly allow sensitive plants to dry out completely either.
In hard-water areas, repeated watering with alkaline tap water can gradually influence conditions within a container. Where practical, collected rainwater is often a useful choice for established acid-loving plants.
Feeding rhododendrons, azaleas & other ericaceous plants
Clover Ericaceous Compost contains essential nutrients and trace elements as part of its formulation, helping plants establish after planting.
Plants remaining in containers for extended periods may eventually require supplementary feeding as the original nutrient supply is used. When additional nutrition is required, select a fertiliser specifically suitable for acid-loving or ericaceous plants and follow the fertiliser manufacturer's instructions.
Maintaining an appropriate root environment is just as important as supplying fertiliser, which is why using the correct compost and suitable irrigation water can make a significant difference to long-term plant performance.
About Clover
Clover is a specialist manufacturer of growing media supplying both professional horticulture and the retail gardening market. Its range includes everyday retail composts alongside specialist substrates formulated for particular crops and commercial growing applications.
Specialist products such as Clover Ericaceous Compost demonstrate the importance of matching the growing medium to the plant rather than treating every crop in the same way. By providing a formulation intended for lime-sensitive species, gardeners can create appropriate growing conditions even where their natural garden soil is unsuitable.
The wider Clover range covers general-purpose growing media, specialist plant composts and professional horticultural substrates for nurseries and commercial growers.
75L ericaceous compost for garden centres & nurseries
Ericaceous compost is an important specialist line for garden centres because it naturally complements the sale of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, heathers, blueberries and other acid-loving plants.
The large 75L format provides customers with enough growing medium for substantial containers or several smaller planting projects, while Creation Horticulture supplies 60 bags per full pallet.
A full pallet therefore represents a total nominal growing media volume of 4,500 litres.

Clover Ericaceous Compost 75L FAQs
What is ericaceous compost?
Ericaceous compost is a specialist acidic growing medium intended for lime-sensitive plants that prefer lower-pH growing conditions. Which plants can I grow in Clover Ericaceous Compost?
It is suitable for acid-loving plants including rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, heathers and blueberries, as well as other species with similar growing requirements. Can I use ordinary multi-purpose compost for rhododendrons and azaleas?
A dedicated ericaceous compost is the better choice where a plant specifically requires acidic conditions. Standard multi-purpose compost may not provide the root-zone conditions preferred by lime-sensitive species. Can Clover Ericaceous Compost be used for blueberries?
Yes. Blueberries prefer acidic growing conditions and are well suited to cultivation in an appropriate ericaceous growing medium. Can I grow acid-loving plants in pots if my garden soil is alkaline?
Yes. Container growing is a practical solution because the plant can be grown in specialist ericaceous compost without relying on the pH of the surrounding garden soil. Should I use rainwater for ericaceous plants?
Rainwater can be particularly useful in hard-water areas because repeated use of alkaline tap water may gradually influence the growing conditions within a container. Why are the leaves on my acid-loving plant turning yellow?
Yellowing between the veins of younger leaves can be associated with nutrient availability problems caused by unsuitable root-zone conditions. Several factors can cause yellowing, however, so watering, nutrition and general plant health should also be checked. Does Clover Ericaceous Compost contain nutrients?
Yes. The formulation contains essential nutrients and trace elements as well as a wetting agent to assist water distribution. Why might the Clover bag I receive look different from the photograph?
Clover is transitioning selected products to updated branded packaging. Either current packaging design may therefore be supplied during the changeover, while the compost formulation remains the same. How many 75L bags are supplied on a pallet?
A full Creation Horticulture pallet contains 60 x 75L bags, providing a total nominal growing media volume of 4,500 litres.

Clover Tub & Basket Compost 40L is a specialist growing medium formulated for hanging baskets, tubs, pots and ornamental container displays. Enriched with essential plant nutrients and moisture-retaining granules, it is designed to support vigorous growth and help maintain more consistent moisture around developing roots.
Hanging baskets and containers can be demanding environments for plants. Their limited compost volume means they can dry rapidly during warm or windy weather, while vigorous flowering plants can quickly use the available nutrients.
Clover Tub & Basket Compost is formulated specifically for these conditions. Its nutrient package supports plant development, while Moisture Store granules help retain water within the growing medium, making it particularly useful for colourful seasonal displays.
Supplied in a convenient 40 litre bag, Creation Horticulture supplies 100 x 40L bags per full pallet.
Why choose Clover Tub & Basket Compost?
- Specialist tub and basket compost - formulated specifically for ornamental plants grown in containers.
- Contains essential plant nutrients - provides nutrition to support establishment and healthy plant development.
- Moisture Store granules - help retain water within the growing medium for improved moisture management.
- Ideal for hanging baskets - particularly useful where a relatively small compost volume supports vigorous seasonal growth.
- Excellent for tubs and patio containers - provides a dedicated growing medium for ornamental displays.
- Helps manage hot-weather watering - moisture-retaining ingredients help reduce the speed at which the growing medium dries.
- Suitable for flowering displays - ideal for creating colourful seasonal tubs, baskets and planters.
- Convenient 40L bag - a practical size for home gardeners and garden centre retail.
What can Clover Tub & Basket Compost be used for?
This compost is specifically designed around container growing and seasonal ornamental planting. Typical applications include:
- Hanging baskets
- Patio tubs
- Flowering pots
- Window boxes
- Decorative planters
- Seasonal bedding displays
- Mixed ornamental containers
- Summer flowering displays
Plants with specialist pH, drainage or nutritional requirements should be matched with an appropriate specialist growing medium.
Moisture Store granules for improved water retention
A key feature of Clover Tub & Basket Compost is the inclusion of Moisture Store granules. These help the growing medium retain water and make moisture available within the root zone between watering.
This is particularly valuable in hanging baskets. Unlike plants growing in open ground, basket plants have access only to the relatively small volume of compost surrounding their roots. Once mature, a heavily planted basket can therefore use water surprisingly quickly.
Tubs, window boxes and patio planters face similar challenges, especially when positioned in warm, sunny or exposed locations.
Moisture-retaining granules do not remove the need for regular watering, but they help create more consistent root-zone conditions and reduce the speed at which containers dry out.
Essential nutrients for vigorous plant growth
Clover Tub & Basket Compost is enriched with the essential nutrients required to support healthy plant establishment and development.
This is important in containers because plants are unable to extend their roots into surrounding garden soil in search of additional nutrition. Everything required for growth must be supplied within the restricted root environment.
As plants become larger and flowering intensifies, nutrient demand can increase substantially. Long-season and particularly vigorous displays may therefore require supplementary feeding as the season progresses.
Choose a fertiliser appropriate for the plants being grown and always follow the feed manufacturer's recommended application instructions.
How to use Clover Tub & Basket Compost
Fill the basket, tub or planter with fresh compost, leaving sufficient space for the root balls of the plants being installed. Position plants at the appropriate depth and carefully fill around their roots.
Gently firm the compost to remove large air gaps without heavily compressing the growing medium. Water thoroughly after planting and allow excess water to drain.
For hanging baskets, make sure the basket is securely supported before watering. A freshly watered basket can be considerably heavier than one containing dry compost.
As the display develops, check moisture levels regularly rather than relying on a fixed watering timetable. Plant size, weather, basket volume and location can all significantly affect water demand.
Designed for demanding summer containers
Seasonal flowering plants can produce an impressive amount of foliage and flowers from a relatively small container. This rapid growth also means that both water and nutrients are consumed quickly.
A specialist tub and basket compost is designed with these demands in mind. Clover combines plant nutrition with moisture-retaining technology to create a growing medium suited to sustained ornamental displays.
Regular deadheading, appropriate feeding and careful watering can further help maintain flowering and overall plant quality throughout the season.
Tub & Basket Compost vs Multi Purpose Compost
Clover Multi Purpose Compost is a versatile growing medium suitable for numerous everyday gardening applications, including containers and hanging baskets.
Clover Tub & Basket Compost is the more specialised option for dedicated ornamental container displays. Its formulation includes Moisture Store granules specifically to help manage the greater moisture demands associated with baskets, tubs and pots.
For occasional general potting, a multi-purpose compost provides excellent versatility. For a substantial summer basket or container display, the specialist Tub & Basket formulation provides features targeted specifically at that application.
Tub & Basket vs Traditional Gold Tub & Basket Compost
Clover offers more than one option for customers creating tubs and hanging baskets.
Clover Tub & Basket Compost is enriched with essential nutrients and Moisture Store granules to support plant growth and improve water retention.
Clover Traditional Gold Tub & Basket Compost is positioned as the premium option within the range, using Clover's Traditional Gold formulation for customers looking to step up to a higher-specification growing medium.
Both products are specifically targeted at the demands of ornamental plants grown in baskets, tubs and containers.
About Clover
Clover produces growing media for both professional horticulture and the retail gardening market. Its range includes general-purpose composts alongside specialist formulations developed around particular plants and growing applications.
Tub & Basket Compost is an example of this application-led approach, combining plant nutrition and moisture-management technology specifically for container-grown ornamental plants.
40L Tub & Basket Compost for garden centres
The 40L bag provides a practical retail size for customers planting hanging baskets, patio tubs and seasonal containers, while the specialist formulation gives garden centres a clear alternative to standard multi-purpose compost.
Creation Horticulture supplies 100 x 40L bags per full pallet, giving a total nominal growing-media volume of 4,000 litres per pallet.

Clover Tub & Basket Compost 40L FAQs
What is Clover Tub & Basket Compost designed for?
It is specifically formulated for hanging baskets, tubs, pots and ornamental container displays where plants have high water and nutrient demands. What are Moisture Store granules?
Moisture Store granules are included in the compost to help retain water within the growing medium, supporting more consistent moisture availability around plant roots. Will Moisture Store granules mean I need to water less often?
They help the compost retain moisture, but watering frequency will still depend on plant size, container volume and weather. Established hanging baskets may require frequent watering during hot conditions. Can I use this compost in patio tubs and window boxes?
Yes. The formulation is suitable for hanging baskets as well as tubs, pots, window boxes and other ornamental containers. Does Clover Tub & Basket Compost contain plant nutrients?
Yes. It is enriched with essential nutrients to support healthy plant establishment and development. Is Tub & Basket Compost better than multi-purpose compost for hanging baskets?
Both can be used, but Tub & Basket Compost is specifically formulated for this application and includes Moisture Store granules to help address the high water demand associated with container displays. Will I need to feed plants later in the season?
Vigorous plants grown for a long season can eventually require additional nutrition. Supplementary feeding should be matched to the plants being grown and applied according to the fertiliser manufacturer's instructions. Why might the Clover bag I receive look different from the product image?
Clover is transitioning selected products to updated branded packaging. Either current packaging design may therefore be supplied during the changeover while the compost formulation remains the same. How many Clover Tub & Basket Compost 40L bags are supplied per pallet?

- Simple seasonal growing - plant directly into the bag and manage watering and feeding as the crop develops.
What can you grow in a Clover Growing Bag?
Clover's 4 Plant Growing Bag is suitable for a variety of edible and ornamental plants. Popular applications include:
- Tomatoes
- Peppers
- Chillies
- Suitable herbs
- Salad crops
- Suitable vegetables
- Seasonal flowering plants
The number of plants used should always reflect the mature size and vigour of the chosen crop. Although the bag provides four planting positions, particularly vigorous plants may benefit from additional root space rather than automatically filling every position.
How to use a Clover 4 Plant Growing Bag
Before planting, position the bag in its final growing location. Once planted and thoroughly watered, moving a growing bag becomes considerably more difficult and can disturb established plants.
Gently work the bag to distribute the compost evenly before opening the designated planting positions. Make an opening large enough to accommodate the plant's root ball, place the plant into the compost and gently firm the growing medium around it.
Water after planting and continue to monitor moisture carefully while the roots establish. Where crops require support, install canes, strings or another suitable support system without damaging the bag or root system.
Growing tomatoes in a Clover Grow Bag
Tomatoes are one of the most popular crops for grow bags. The format provides a convenient contained root zone and works particularly well in greenhouses, on patios and in other sunny growing positions.
Tomato plants become increasingly demanding as they mature. Regular watering becomes especially important once plants develop substantial foliage and begin setting fruit.
Avoid allowing the growing medium to repeatedly swing between extremely dry and heavily saturated conditions. Consistent moisture management helps maintain steady plant development and is particularly important once fruit is forming.
Taller tomato varieties will also require suitable support as they grow.
Watering plants in a growing bag
Growing bags contain a finite volume of compost, so moisture can be used relatively quickly by large, actively growing plants.
Check the growing medium regularly, particularly during warm and sunny weather. Water requirements will increase as root systems develop and plants produce more foliage, flowers and fruit.
Water should reach the root zone rather than merely wetting the surface. At the same time, avoid continually saturating the compost, as healthy roots require both moisture and air.
When should grow bag plants be fed?
The compost within the Clover Growing Bag contains plant nutrients to support establishment and initial growth. However, productive crops can have substantial nutrient requirements as they mature.
Once the initial nutrient supply is being depleted, supplementary feeding can be introduced according to the requirements of the crop being grown.
Fruiting plants such as tomatoes and peppers are commonly moved onto an appropriate crop feed as flowering and fruit production develop. Always follow the instructions supplied with the chosen fertiliser rather than increasing concentration in an attempt to accelerate growth.
Space-efficient growing for patios & greenhouses
One of the main advantages of a growing bag is the ability to raise productive plants without a permanent vegetable bed.
Bags can be positioned on suitable greenhouse floors, patios and other stable growing surfaces, making them useful for gardeners working with limited space or areas where planting directly into the ground is not practical.
They also make seasonal crop changes straightforward because the entire growing medium is contained within the bag.
Grow bag vs individual pots
Both systems can produce excellent plants, but a grow bag offers a particularly simple approach. Several plants can share one contained volume of growing medium without purchasing and filling multiple individual containers.
Individual pots provide greater control over the root volume and watering of each plant, while a growing bag offers convenience and efficient use of available growing space.
The best option depends on the crop, available space and preferred growing method.
About Clover

The Clover 75L TREE PLANTING & MULCHING is a tree planting & mulching compost intended for tree and shrub planting, backfilling and mulching where this product is appropriate.
Clover growing media are used across professional horticulture where growers need to select the substrate according to crop type, container size, irrigation practice and production stage.
Bag size: 75L.
Key benefits
- Specialist tree planting & mulching compost
- Designed for tree and shrub planting, backfilling and mulching where this product is appropriate
- 75L professional bag size
- Suitable for planned nursery and growing programmes
Recommended applications
Use this product for tree and shrub planting, backfilling and mulching where this product is appropriate. The exact crop response will depend on plant species, container volume, irrigation, feeding and the wider production environment.
Using professional growing media
Fill pots, trays or planting areas evenly without unnecessary compaction. After planting, irrigate according to the crop and allow the medium to settle naturally around the root system.
Monitor moisture rather than watering solely to a fixed timetable. Water demand changes with crop size, temperature, light, airflow and container volume.
Nutrition & crop management
Where a growing medium contains a starter nutrient charge, its duration will vary with crop demand and irrigation. Establish an appropriate ongoing feeding programme for longer-term production rather than assuming the original nutrient supply will last indefinitely.
For specialist crops, match pH, nutrition and irrigation to the plant's requirements and current production guidance.
Storage & handling
Store bags in a suitable area before use and protect opened material from contamination. Avoid unnecessary compaction during handling so the physical structure of the growing medium is maintained.

The Growers Own Easy Fleece Jacket 50gsm provides quick, convenient frost protection for container plants, shrubs and young plants during cold weather. Measuring 1.8m x 2m, the ready-made plant cover features a full-length zipper for easy access and a drawstring base for securing the fleece around the plant or container.
Manufactured from 50gsm breathable polypropylene fleece, the jacket creates a protective layer around vulnerable plants while still allowing light, air and moisture to pass through. This makes it a practical alternative to repeatedly wrapping individual plants with sheets of horticultural fleece.
Simply open the zipper, position the jacket around the plant and close it before securing the drawstring at the base. The generous 1.8m x 2m size is particularly useful for larger container plants and shrubs that need additional protection during cold snaps and winter weather.
Why choose the Growers Own Easy Fleece Jacket?
- Ready-made frost protection cover - no cutting, wrapping or tying sheets of fleece around individual plants.
- 50gsm polypropylene fleece - heavier protective fleece for overwintering vulnerable plants.
- Large 1.8m x 2m size - suitable for larger container plants, shrubs and young plants.
- Full-length zipper - makes fitting, removal and access to the protected plant much easier.
- Drawstring base - helps secure the jacket around the pot, container or base of the plant.
- Breathable material - allows light, air and moisture to reach the plant.
- Protection from frost and cold winds - provides an additional barrier during harsh winter conditions.
- Reusable design - can be removed, dried and stored for future cold-weather protection.
Quick frost protection for larger plants
Protecting established container plants and shrubs with conventional fleece can involve wrapping several layers around the plant and securing them with ties. A ready-made fleece jacket makes the process considerably quicker.
The zipper allows the cover to open widely rather than having to pull the entire jacket down over delicate branches or foliage. Once positioned, close the zipper and use the drawstring around the base to help keep the cover securely in place.
This also makes the jacket easy to open when the plant needs checking, watering or additional ventilation during milder weather.
Ideal for overwintering container plants & shrubs
The 1.8m x 2m Easy Fleece Jacket is suitable for protecting a wide range of vulnerable plants, including:
- Large container plants
- Patio plants
- Tender and semi-hardy shrubs
- Young trees and ornamental plants
- Recently established plants
- Plants vulnerable to sudden cold snaps
- Overwintering plants in sheltered outdoor positions
The level of protection required will depend on the plant species, local conditions and severity of the weather. Particularly tender plants may require additional protection or a frost-free overwintering location during prolonged severe cold.
Breathable 50gsm horticultural fleece
Unlike an impermeable plastic cover, horticultural fleece is designed to remain breathable. Light, air and moisture can pass through the material while the fleece provides an additional protective layer around the plant.
The 50gsm weight gives this jacket a substantial construction for winter plant protection while retaining the flexibility needed to fit around foliage and containers.
During extended periods of milder weather, plants should still be checked regularly and the cover opened or removed when appropriate to maintain suitable growing conditions.
How to use the Easy Fleece Jacket
Open the zipper and carefully position the fleece around the plant, taking care not to force the material against delicate branches. Close the zipper and tighten the drawstring sufficiently to secure the base.
For container plants, the jacket can be positioned around the plant and pot as appropriate. Remember that the fleece primarily protects the above-ground plant. In very cold conditions, vulnerable containers and root systems may benefit from additional insulation.
Check the plant periodically throughout winter, particularly following strong winds, heavy rain or significant changes in temperature.
Reusable winter plant protection
After the risk of frost has passed, remove the jacket carefully and allow it to dry fully before storage. Fold it loosely and keep it in a clean, dry location ready for the following season.
Reusing the jacket across multiple winters makes it a convenient addition to the seasonal plant-protection kit for gardeners, nurseries and garden retailers.

Growers Own Easy Fleece Jacket FAQs
What size is this frost protection jacket?
This version measures 1.8m x 2m and is designed for larger container plants, shrubs and other appropriately sized plants. What does 50gsm fleece mean?
GSM means grams per square metre and describes the weight of the fleece material. This jacket uses 50gsm polypropylene fleece, giving it a more substantial construction than lightweight crop fleece. Does the plant fleece let light and moisture through?
Yes. The polypropylene fleece is breathable and allows light, air and moisture to pass through while providing an additional protective barrier around the plant. Why does the fleece jacket have a zipper?
The zipper makes the jacket easier to fit around larger plants without forcing the cover over branches and foliage. It also provides convenient access when the plant needs checking or watering. What is the drawstring for?
The drawstring helps secure the bottom of the fleece around the plant or container, reducing the chance of the cover being displaced by wind. Can I use the jacket on potted plants?
Yes. It is particularly useful for overwintering vulnerable container and patio plants that cannot easily be moved to a frost-free location. Does the fleece protect the plant roots as well?
The jacket primarily provides protection around the plant. Containers and root systems can still become very cold, so vulnerable pots may require additional insulation during severe winter conditions. Can the Easy Fleece Jacket be reused?
Yes. Provided it remains in good condition, allow the fleece to dry after use and store it somewhere clean and dry for reuse during future cold weather. Should I leave the fleece jacket on all winter?
Use it according to the plant and weather conditions. Check covered plants regularly and consider opening or removing the jacket during prolonged mild periods where additional protection is unnecessary. Is fleece enough for very tender plants?
That depends on the plant and the temperatures experienced. A fleece jacket provides useful additional protection, but very tender species may still require a sheltered or frost-free location during severe or prolonged cold.

Manufactured from 50gsm breathable polypropylene fleece, the jacket creates a protective layer around vulnerable plants while allowing light, air and moisture to pass through. It offers a simple alternative to cutting and repeatedly wrapping plants with sheets of horticultural fleece.

Easy frost protection for plants
Protecting individual plants with loose sheets of fleece can be time-consuming, particularly when plants need to be uncovered and recovered as weather conditions change. The Growers Own Easy Fleece Jacket provides a ready-made solution that can be fitted quickly.
Open the zipper, position the fleece around the plant and close it before securing the drawstring at the base. The zipped opening also makes it easier to check or access the plant without completely removing the cover.
Suitable applications include:
- Container and patio plants
- Tender and semi-hardy shrubs
- Young ornamental plants
- Recently established plants
- Plants vulnerable to sudden cold snaps
- Seasonal overwintering protection
Breathable 50gsm horticultural fleece
Horticultural fleece provides protection without completely sealing the plant inside an impermeable covering. The material allows light, air and moisture to pass through while creating an additional protective layer around vulnerable foliage.
The 50gsm construction provides a useful balance between protection and breathability for seasonal winter use. Plants should still be checked regularly, particularly during prolonged periods of milder weather.
How to use the Easy Fleece Jacket
Open the zipper fully and carefully position the jacket around the plant. Avoid forcing the fleece over delicate branches or foliage. Once correctly positioned, close the zipper and use the drawstring to secure the bottom of the jacket.
Check the cover periodically following strong winds or changes in weather conditions and make sure the plant continues to receive appropriate water and ventilation.
For plants growing in containers, remember that the fleece primarily protects the plant above ground. Vulnerable pots and root systems may require additional insulation during particularly cold conditions.
Choosing the right fleece jacket size
This 1.5m x 1.8m Easy Fleece Jacket is the more compact option in the Growers Own range and is well suited to medium-sized plants and containers.
Before choosing a size, measure both the height and widest point of the plant and allow enough room for the fleece to sit comfortably around the foliage without excessive compression.
Reusable winter plant protection
When frost protection is no longer required, remove the jacket carefully and allow it to dry thoroughly before storage. Store it in a clean, dry location so it is ready for the next period of cold weather.

Yes. If it remains in good condition, dry it thoroughly after use and store it somewhere clean and dry for future cold-weather protection. Will the fleece protect the roots of a container plant?

Clover Tomato & Salad Crop Bag is a premium extra-large growing bag specially formulated for tomatoes and a wide range of productive summer crops. Enriched with organic nutrients and natural seaweed extract, it provides a ready-to-use growing medium designed to support healthy plants and productive cropping.
Developed specifically for fruiting and salad crops, this generously sized grow bag provides plenty of growing medium for developing root systems while supplying the conditions required for strong plant establishment.
Although tomatoes are an obvious choice, the Clover Tomato & Salad Crop Bag is equally useful for crops including aubergines, chillies, courgettes, cucumbers, lettuce, melons and strawberries.
It provides a straightforward growing solution for gardeners while also offering garden centres and horticultural retailers a recognised specialist crop bag for seasonal vegetable and fruit growing.
Why choose Clover Tomato & Salad Crop Bag?
- Premium extra-large crop bag - provides generous growing space for productive fruit and vegetable crops.
- Specially formulated for tomatoes - developed around the requirements of vigorous, productive plants.
- Organic nutrients - incorporated into the growing medium to support healthy crop development.
- Natural seaweed extract - included as part of Clover's specialist crop bag formulation.
- Suitable for 3-5 plants - depending on crop type, plant size and spacing requirements.
- Versatile summer growing medium - suitable for numerous fruiting vegetables and salad crops.
- Ready to plant - no need to fill separate containers with growing media.
- Ideal for greenhouses and patios - useful wherever productive crops need to be grown in containers.
- Suitable for home and professional retail markets - a strong seasonal product for garden centres and growing media ranges.
What can you grow in a Clover Tomato & Salad Crop Bag?
Despite its name, this is far more than simply a tomato grow bag. Clover recommends it for a wide range of productive summer plants.
- Tomatoes
- Aubergines
- Chillies
- Courgettes
- Cucumbers
- Lettuce
- Melons
- Strawberries
- Other suitable summer salad and fruiting crops
The number of plants grown in each bag should be adjusted according to the crop. Larger, vigorous plants require more root space than smaller salad crops, so avoid overcrowding simply to maximise the number of plants per bag.
How to plant a Clover Tomato & Salad Crop Bag
Position the crop bag in its final growing location before planting, particularly if it will be used in a greenhouse or another area where moving a planted bag later would be inconvenient.
Before planting, Clover recommends adding approximately 5-10 litres of water to each bag. Allow the growing medium to absorb the moisture rather than planting into a completely dry bag.
Use the marked planting positions on the bag as a guide, adjusting the final number of plants according to the crop being grown. Make suitable planting openings, create space within the growing medium and plant at the appropriate depth for the crop.
After planting, water carefully to settle the growing medium around the roots and continue monitoring moisture as the plants establish.
Watering tomatoes & salad crops in grow bags
Careful watering is particularly important when growing vigorous crops in bags because the available volume of growing medium is limited compared with open ground.
Clover advises that the growing medium should not be allowed to dry out, but overwatering should also be avoided because prolonged waterlogging can reduce the amount of air available around the roots.
Water demand will increase as plants establish, temperatures rise and fruiting crops develop larger canopies. Check the moisture condition regularly rather than relying on a fixed watering interval.
During warm summer conditions, established tomatoes and other vigorous crops may require considerably more frequent watering than young plants at the beginning of the growing cycle.
Feeding for sustained cropping
The Clover Tomato & Salad Crop Bag contains organic nutrients and natural seaweed extract to support crop establishment and development.
As plants mature and cropping increases, however, their nutritional demand also rises. Clover recommends supplementary liquid feeding for improved and sustained cropping.
Choose an appropriate feed for the crop being grown and follow the fertiliser manufacturer's application instructions. Tomatoes and other heavy-fruiting crops can have substantial nutritional requirements during flowering and fruit development.
Ideal for garden centres & horticultural retailers
Tomato and vegetable growing remains an important seasonal gardening category, and a specialist crop bag provides customers with a simple route into growing productive plants without requiring separate pots and bags of compost.
For garden centres and horticultural retailers, Clover Tomato & Salad Crop Bags pair naturally with tomato plants, vegetable plants, canes, supports, watering accessories and specialist feeds, making them a useful component of a complete seasonal growing range.
Creation Horticulture supplies this product in trade quantities, with 66 crop bags per pallet.

Clover Tomato & Salad Crop Bag FAQs
How many tomato plants can I grow in a Clover crop bag?
Clover describes the product as a 3-5 plant bag. The appropriate number depends on the crop and its eventual size, and larger plants should be given sufficient space rather than overcrowded. Is this crop bag only for tomatoes?
No. It is also suitable for crops including aubergines, chillies, courgettes, cucumbers, lettuce, melons and strawberries. Does the Clover Tomato & Salad Crop Bag contain nutrients?
Yes. Clover formulates the growing medium with organic nutrients and natural seaweed extract. Should I water the crop bag before planting?
Yes. Clover recommends adding approximately 5-10 litres of water to the bag before planting to moisten the growing medium. Do tomatoes in the bag need additional feeding?
Clover recommends supplementary liquid feeding for improved and sustained cropping. Follow the instructions for the chosen plant feed and adjust the programme to the crop being grown. How often should I water a tomato grow bag?
There is no single interval suitable for every situation. Water demand changes with plant size, crop, temperature and growing conditions. Check the growing medium regularly, avoiding both complete drying and prolonged waterlogging. Can the Clover crop bag be used in a greenhouse?
Yes. It is well suited to greenhouse production of tomatoes, cucumbers and other suitable warm-season crops, as well as patio and outdoor growing where conditions are appropriate. Can strawberries be grown in this crop bag?
Yes. Strawberries are included among the crops recommended for Clover Tomato & Salad Crop Bag. Why might the bag I receive look different from the product image?

Clover Organic Soil Conditioner 60L is a natural source of organic fibre and humus designed to improve the structure and condition of garden soil. Suitable for both heavy clay and light, dry soils, it helps improve drainage, moisture retention and the overall physical condition of the soil before planting.
Unlike a potting compost, this product is intended primarily as a soil improver. It is incorporated into existing garden soil to increase organic matter and help create a better environment for developing roots.
Its benefits work in two very different soil types. In heavy clay soils, incorporating organic material helps improve structure and drainage. In light and sandy soils, the added organic matter helps improve the soil's ability to retain moisture.
Clover also identifies its Organic Soil Conditioner as helping to suppress common weeds, making it a versatile product for preparing and improving beds, borders and other cultivated garden areas.
Why choose Clover Organic Soil Conditioner?
- Natural source of organic fibre and humus - adds valuable organic material to existing garden soil.
- Improves difficult soils - useful for improving both heavy and light soil types.
- Improves heavy clay soil - helps create better structure and drainage when thoroughly incorporated.
- Improves moisture retention in dry soils - organic matter helps light and sandy soils hold moisture more effectively.
- Supports better soil structure - creates a more favourable physical environment for plant roots.
- Helps suppress common weeds - an additional benefit identified by Clover for this specialist soil conditioner.
- Ideal before planting - incorporate into beds and borders during soil preparation.
- Versatile garden soil improver - suitable for areas intended for flowers, vegetables, shrubs and other garden planting.
- Generous 60L bag - practical for larger beds, borders and general garden improvement.
Improve clay, sandy & tired garden soils
Different soils present very different challenges, which is why adding organic matter is such a useful part of garden soil management.
Heavy clay soil
Heavy soils can become dense and difficult to work, particularly when wet. Incorporating Clover Organic Soil Conditioner adds organic material that helps improve the physical structure of the soil and encourages better drainage.
Light & sandy soil
Sandy soils tend to drain rapidly and can lose moisture quickly during warm weather. Clover Organic Soil Conditioner adds organic fibre and humus, helping improve moisture retention and giving light soil more body.
Tired cultivated soil
Beds and borders that have been cultivated repeatedly can benefit from the regular addition of organic matter. Incorporating a soil conditioner helps maintain and improve the physical condition of the soil rather than simply adding plant nutrients.
Where can Clover Organic Soil Conditioner be used?
This soil improver can be incorporated into existing soil across a wide range of garden areas, including:
- Flower beds and borders
- Vegetable plots
- Raised beds containing existing soil
- Shrub planting areas
- Areas being prepared for new planting
- Heavy clay soils requiring structural improvement
- Light and sandy soils requiring improved moisture retention
- Established cultivated areas where additional organic matter is required
Because this is a soil conditioner rather than a conventional potting compost, it is best used to improve existing soil rather than as a standalone growing medium for filling pots and containers.
How to use an organic soil conditioner
Spread the soil conditioner over the area to be improved and thoroughly incorporate it into the existing soil before planting. Concentrate on the root zone where improved soil structure will provide the greatest benefit to establishing plants.
For established beds and borders, it can be incorporated when preparing areas between planting cycles or when renovating tired soil.
The quantity required will depend on the existing soil condition and the area being improved. Very heavy clay, extremely light sandy soil or ground low in organic matter may benefit from more substantial improvement than already well-conditioned garden soil.
Soil conditioner vs compost: what's the difference?
Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, Clover Organic Soil Conditioner has a different primary purpose from a standard multi-purpose potting compost.
A potting compost is formulated to provide a growing medium in which plants can be raised directly. A soil conditioner is incorporated into existing soil to improve its physical characteristics and organic matter content.
This makes Clover Organic Soil Conditioner particularly useful for gardeners looking to improve beds, borders and vegetable plots rather than simply filling pots.
Why organic matter matters
Maintaining organic matter is an important part of looking after cultivated soil. Organic material influences soil structure, water management and the environment surrounding plant roots.
In heavy soils, it can help create a more workable structure with improved movement of air and water. In lighter soils, organic matter can improve moisture retention and reduce the tendency for water to drain away too rapidly.
This is why the same Clover Organic Soil Conditioner can be useful at opposite ends of the soil spectrum, from dense clay to free-draining sandy ground.
About Clover
Clover has around 50 years of experience producing growing media for farms, nurseries, gardens and greenhouses across the UK. Its range extends from retail composts and soil improvers through to growing media for professional horticultural production.
The Organic Soil Conditioner is part of Clover's retail range and is specifically designed for improving existing garden soils. Rather than being another general-purpose compost, its role is to add organic fibre and humus where the soil itself needs improvement.
Clover packaging update
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 Organic Soil Conditioner regardless of which current packaging design is supplied.

Clover Organic Soil Conditioner FAQs
What does Clover Organic Soil Conditioner do?
It adds organic fibre and humus to existing garden soil, helping improve soil structure and creating better physical growing conditions for plant roots. Is Clover Organic Soil Conditioner good for clay soil?
Yes. Clover specifically identifies the product as useful for difficult soils and states that it helps improve drainage in heavy clay soil. Can I use it in sandy soil?
Yes. In light and dry soils, its organic fibre and humus help improve moisture retention, making it useful for sandy ground as well as heavy clay. Is soil conditioner the same as multi-purpose compost?
No. Multi-purpose compost is designed to act as a growing medium, while Clover Organic Soil Conditioner is primarily intended to be incorporated into existing soil to improve its condition. Can I plant directly into Clover Organic Soil Conditioner?
It is intended as a soil improver rather than a standalone potting medium. For most applications it should be thoroughly incorporated into existing garden soil before planting. Can it be used in vegetable beds?
Yes. It can be incorporated into existing soil in vegetable plots and raised beds where additional organic matter and improved soil structure are required. Does Clover Organic Soil Conditioner help suppress weeds?
Yes. Clover's product information states that the soil conditioner also acts to suppress common weeds. When is the best time to improve garden soil?
Soil can be improved whenever conditions allow it to be worked effectively. Incorporating organic matter before new planting or between cropping cycles makes it easier to mix the conditioner thoroughly through the root zone. Why might the bag I receive look different from the product image?
Clover is transitioning selected products to updated branded packaging. During the changeover either current packaging design may be supplied, while the product itself remains the same. How many 60L bags are supplied on a full pallet?

Clover Sports Turf & Lawn Dressing 25L is a fine-grade top dressing developed for lawns, bowling greens and sports turf. Applied as a thin layer over established grass, it can help improve surface levels, support healthy turf growth and form part of a regular lawn renovation and maintenance programme.
Top dressing is widely used to maintain established turf because it allows small quantities of material to be worked gradually into the surface. Rather than covering the grass, the dressing is spread thinly and worked down towards the soil surface between the blades.
Clover's fine-grade formulation makes it suitable for both domestic lawns and more intensively maintained turf areas where an even surface and consistent finish are important.
Supplied in a convenient 25 litre bag, Creation Horticulture supplies 60 x 25L bags per full pallet.
Why choose Clover Sports Turf & Lawn Dressing?
- Fine-grade lawn dressing - designed to spread evenly across established turf.
- Helps improve surface levels - useful for gradually correcting minor irregularities and creating a more even lawn surface.
- Supports healthy grass growth - provides fresh material around the base of established turf.
- Suitable for lawn renovation - ideal for use as part of seasonal lawn maintenance and repair.
- Suitable for sports turf - developed for maintained grass areas as well as domestic lawns.
- Suitable for bowling greens - the fine-grade material can be worked into closely maintained turf.
- Useful after aeration and scarification - can be incorporated into a wider lawn renovation programme.
- Convenient 25L bag - practical for lawn repairs, smaller gardens and targeted maintenance.
What is lawn dressing used for?
Lawn dressing is applied over existing grass rather than being used as a replacement for the underlying soil. Typical applications include:
- Routine lawn maintenance
- Seasonal turf renovation
- Levelling minor surface irregularities
- Working material into the surface following aeration
- Using alongside overseeding
- Maintaining bowling greens
- Maintaining suitable sports turf
- Repairing worn or uneven lawn areas
For substantial changes in ground level or the preparation of a completely new lawn, a suitable topsoil is normally more appropriate. Lawn dressing is intended primarily for gradual surface improvement and maintenance of established turf.
How to apply lawn top dressing
Before applying the dressing, mow the lawn to an appropriate height and remove excessive surface debris. If the lawn is being renovated, scarification or aeration can be carried out before top dressing where required.
Distribute the Clover Lawn Dressing evenly across the grass in a light, controlled layer. Work the material into the turf using a suitable lawn lute, levelling tool, brush or the back of a rake.
The objective is to move the dressing down towards the soil surface while leaving the majority of the grass blades exposed. Avoid burying healthy turf beneath a heavy layer of material.
Deeper depressions are better corrected gradually with repeated light applications rather than attempting to raise the surface dramatically in a single treatment.
Ideal for lawn renovation
Clover Sports Turf & Lawn Dressing can be incorporated into a wider renovation programme when an established lawn has become compacted, worn or uneven.
Depending on the condition of the turf, renovation may include mowing, scarifying to remove unwanted thatch, aerating compacted areas, top dressing and overseeding worn patches.
When top dressing follows aeration, some of the fine material can work into the openings created in the surface while the remainder is distributed around the existing grass.
Using lawn dressing when overseeding
Top dressing and overseeding are often combined when renovating thin or worn lawns.
After preparing the existing turf, appropriate grass seed can be distributed over the required area. A light application of fine lawn dressing can then help create closer contact between seed and the prepared surface.
Keep newly seeded areas appropriately moist during germination and avoid heavy traffic while young grass establishes. Always follow the sowing guidance supplied with the chosen grass seed.
Levelling an uneven lawn
Minor hollows and surface irregularities can make mowing more difficult and affect the appearance of a lawn. Fine top dressing provides a way to make gradual adjustments without completely lifting established turf.
Apply additional dressing selectively to shallow depressions and work it into the grass. Where more material is required, build the level progressively so that existing grass can continue growing through the dressing.
Significant depressions or major changes in ground level may require more extensive preparation using topsoil rather than lawn dressing alone.
When should you top dress a lawn?
Lawn dressing is best applied while grass is actively growing and capable of recovering from maintenance work. This makes it particularly useful as part of spring or autumn lawn renovation when conditions are suitable.
Avoid applying a heavy dressing when grass is under significant stress from drought, extreme heat, waterlogging or other adverse conditions.
For professional turf, application timing should form part of the wider maintenance programme and take account of grass species, surface condition, weather and intended use.
Lawn Dressing vs Topsoil
Clover Lawn Dressing and Clover Top Soil are both useful for lawn work, but they perform different jobs.
Clover Sports Turf & Lawn Dressing is a fine-grade material intended for spreading over established turf as part of maintenance, renovation and gradual surface levelling.
Clover Top Soil is better suited to more substantial ground preparation, building soil levels and preparing areas before establishing a new lawn.
For an existing lawn requiring relatively small surface corrections, lawn dressing is generally the more targeted product.

Clover Sports Turf & Lawn Dressing 25L FAQs
What does lawn top dressing do?
Top dressing adds a fine layer of material to established turf and can be used to improve surface levels, support healthy grass growth and complement routine lawn renovation. Can Clover Lawn Dressing be used on domestic lawns?
Yes. Although suitable for sports turf and bowling greens, it can also be used for regular maintenance and renovation of domestic lawns. Can I use it after aerating my lawn?
Yes. Top dressing is commonly combined with aeration as part of lawn renovation, allowing fine material to work into the prepared turf surface. Can lawn dressing be used when overseeding?
Yes. A light dressing can be incorporated into an overseeding programme and can help create good contact between grass seed and the prepared surface. Can lawn dressing level dips in grass?
It is suitable for gradually correcting minor hollows and uneven areas. Deeper depressions should be corrected progressively, while major level changes may require additional topsoil or more extensive preparation. Should the grass be completely covered?
No. Lawn dressing should generally be applied as a light layer and worked down towards the soil surface so that established grass remains exposed and can continue growing. What is the difference between lawn dressing and topsoil?
Lawn dressing is intended for fine surface applications over established turf. Topsoil is better suited to substantial ground preparation, building levels and preparing soil before a new lawn is established. Why might the Clover bag I receive look different from the product image?

Clover John Innes Seed Compost 25L is a traditional loam-based seed sowing compost formulated for germinating seeds and supporting healthy young seedlings. Its carefully balanced, relatively low nutrient formulation provides a stable growing environment for early root development without supplying the stronger feed levels associated with composts intended for established plants.
Seedlings begin life with small, delicate root systems, so the compost used at germination needs to provide an appropriate balance of moisture, air, structure and nutrition. John Innes Seed Compost is specifically formulated for this early stage rather than being a general-purpose potting medium.
The loam-based nature of a John Innes formulation gives the compost useful body and stability, making it particularly suitable for seed trays, pots and propagation modules.
Supplied in a convenient 25 litre bag, Creation Horticulture supplies 80 x 25L bags per full pallet.
Why choose Clover John Innes Seed Compost?
- Traditional John Innes formulation - a specialist loam-based compost developed specifically for seed sowing.
- Designed for germination - provides a suitable environment for seeds during the earliest stage of plant development.
- Controlled nutrient level - formulated for young seedlings rather than established, vigorously growing plants.
- Supports early root development - creates a stable rooting environment as seedlings become established.
- Loam-based growing medium - provides greater body and weight than many lightweight general-purpose growing media.
- Ideal for seed trays - suitable for traditional seed-sowing and propagation techniques.
- Suitable for pots and modules - useful for individual or batch sowing depending on the crop.
- Wide range of seeds - suitable for many flower, vegetable and ornamental species.
What is John Innes Seed Compost?
John Innes is a traditional system of loam-based compost formulations developed for different stages of plant growth. Rather than referring to a brand, the name describes a recognised type of growing medium.
John Innes Seed Compost is the formulation intended for seed sowing and young seedlings. Its nutrient level is deliberately lower than the John Innes potting composts used as plants become larger and require progressively more nutrition.
The inclusion of loam gives John Innes composts their characteristic weight and structure. This can be particularly useful in propagation pots and trays where a stable growing medium is desirable.
How to use Clover John Innes Seed Compost
Fill a clean seed tray, propagation module or pot with fresh compost and gently level the surface. Avoid heavily compressing the growing medium, as developing roots require access to both moisture and air.
Sow seeds according to the requirements of the individual plant species. Seed size and preferred germination conditions determine how deeply each seed should be covered, so always follow the instructions supplied with the seed.
After sowing, water carefully using a fine rose or another gentle method that will not disturb the seeds. Keep the compost appropriately moist throughout germination without leaving it continuously saturated.
Creating the right environment for germination
Compost is only one part of successful seed propagation. Temperature, moisture, light and seed quality all influence germination.
Some seeds require warmth to germinate effectively, while others perform better at cooler temperatures. Light requirements also vary between species, with some seeds needing to remain close to the surface and others requiring covering.
Once germination begins, provide seedlings with the light and ventilation appropriate to the species. Strong early growth depends on balancing these environmental conditions rather than relying on additional fertiliser alone.
Watering newly sown seeds
Newly sown compost should generally be kept appropriately moist but not waterlogged. Excessive watering can reduce the amount of air available around developing roots, while allowing the compost to dry excessively can interrupt germination.
Gentle watering is particularly important immediately after sowing because a strong stream of water can move small seeds, expose them or wash them deeper into the compost.
Trays and pots should have suitable drainage, and moisture should be checked regularly rather than following a fixed watering schedule.
When should seedlings be potted on?
John Innes Seed Compost is intended for germination and early seedling development rather than long-term cultivation of established plants.
Once seedlings are sufficiently developed to handle and have established a suitable root system, they can be transplanted into a growing medium appropriate for the next stage of growth.
The John Innes system includes progressively richer potting composts for established plants, while Clover also produces a range of other potting and multi-purpose growing media.
When transplanting, handle young seedlings carefully and minimise disturbance to their developing roots.
John Innes Seed Compost vs Seed & Cutting Compost
Both products are designed for propagation, but they provide different options depending on the preferred growing method.
Clover John Innes Seed Compost is a traditional loam-based formulation specifically intended for sowing seeds and raising young seedlings.
Clover Seed & Cutting Compost is a fine-textured specialist propagation medium designed for both seed sowing and the rooting of suitable plant cuttings.
For gardeners specifically looking for a traditional, soil-based John Innes seed compost, this 25L formulation is the appropriate choice.

About Clover specialist growing media
Clover produces growing media for professional horticulture and the retail gardening market, including specialist formulations for different stages of plant development.
Its John Innes range provides gardeners with traditional loam-based growing media, while the wider Clover range includes propagation composts, multi-purpose growing media and specialist products for established plants.
25L John Innes Seed Compost for nurseries & garden centres
The 25L format is particularly practical for seasonal seed sowing, propagation benches and retail customers who require a specialist seed compost without purchasing a large-volume bag.
Creation Horticulture supplies 80 x 25L bags per full pallet, providing a total nominal growing-media volume of 2,000 litres per pallet.
Clover packaging update
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.
Packaging appearance may therefore vary from the product imagery shown.

Clover John Innes Seed Compost 25L FAQs
What is John Innes Seed Compost used for?
It is specifically formulated for sowing seeds and supporting seedlings through their early stages of development. Is John Innes a brand?
No. John Innes refers to a traditional system of loam-based compost formulations developed for different stages of plant growth. Why does seed compost have a lower nutrient level?
Very young seedlings have relatively modest nutritional requirements. A specialist seed compost provides an appropriate nutrient environment for early development rather than the stronger feeding associated with compost for established plants. Can I sow vegetable seeds in Clover John Innes Seed Compost?
Yes. It is suitable for a wide range of seeds, including many vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants. Follow the germination requirements of the individual species. Can I keep mature plants in John Innes Seed Compost?
It is primarily intended for germination and young seedlings. Once plants become established, they should normally be moved into a growing medium appropriate for their next stage of development. What is the difference between this and Clover Seed & Cutting Compost?
John Innes Seed Compost is a traditional loam-based formulation specifically for seed sowing. Clover Seed & Cutting Compost is a specialist propagation medium intended for both seeds and suitable plant cuttings. Why might the Clover bag I receive look different from the product image?
Clover is transitioning selected products to updated branded packaging, so either current packaging design may be supplied during the changeover. How many Clover John Innes Seed Compost 25L bags are supplied per pallet?
A full Creation Horticulture pallet contains 80 x 25L bags, providing a total nominal volume of 2,000 litres.

Growers Own Ground Cover Fixing Pegs are practical plastic anchoring pegs designed for securing weed control fabric, ground cover, horticultural fleece and lightweight garden sheeting directly into the soil. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100, they are ideal for garden projects, allotments, nurseries and smaller professional installations.
Each fixing peg features a pointed end for straightforward insertion into suitable soil, together with multiple barbs along the shaft. These barbs help the peg grip the surrounding ground and resist pulling back out, while the broad head holds the covering material securely against the soil surface.
The 100-piece pack provides a useful quantity for installing new weed membrane, securing fleece or keeping spare ground-cover fixings available for maintenance and repairs.
Why choose Growers Own Ground Cover Fixing Pegs?
- Pack of 100 - a practical quantity for gardens, allotments and smaller professional installations.
- Barbed shaft - multiple projections help the peg grip the surrounding soil.
- Broad fixing head - helps hold fabric and ground cover against the soil surface.
- Pointed end - designed for straightforward insertion into suitable cultivated ground.
- Plastic construction - lightweight and unaffected by the rust associated with untreated metal fixings.
- Ideal for weed control fabric - useful around edges, corners, joins and intermediate fixing points.
- Suitable for ground cover - helps keep landscape fabrics positioned during installation and use.
- Useful for horticultural fleece - provides a simple way to anchor suitable protective coverings at ground level.
- Simple push-in installation - no specialist fixing equipment required for suitable soil conditions.
Secure weed membrane & ground cover
Weed control fabric needs to remain securely positioned to perform effectively and maintain a neat installation. Loose edges and insufficient fixing points can allow the material to lift or move, particularly around corners, overlaps and exposed areas.
Growers Own Ground Cover Fixing Pegs provide convenient mechanical fixing points around the perimeter and across the main area of the covering. Extra pegs can be positioned wherever additional restraint is required.
| Weed control fabric | Secure weed membrane around beds, borders and landscaped areas. |
|---|---|
| Ground cover | Anchor suitable woven and non-woven ground-cover fabrics to the soil. |
| Horticultural fleece | Useful for securing suitable fleece and lightweight protective coverings at ground level. |
| Allotments | Practical for weed-control installations around productive growing areas. |
| Landscaping | Useful for securing landscape fabric beneath suitable surface coverings and planted areas. |
Barbed design for improved grip
The shaft incorporates several angled barbs which increase resistance against the surrounding soil after installation. This helps the fixing remain anchored and makes it more difficult for the peg to work loose than a completely smooth-sided design.
A broad head at the top helps retain the covering material, while the tapered point at the bottom assists insertion into suitable soil. The result is a simple fixing designed specifically for securing lightweight landscaping and growing-area materials.
How to install ground cover fixing pegs
Position the ground cover or membrane over the prepared area and remove excessive slack. Push the fixing pegs through the material and into the soil, placing them around the perimeter and at suitable intervals across the installation.
Corners, joins, overlaps and exposed edges will generally benefit from additional fixing points. The exact number required will depend on the material being secured, the size and shape of the installation and local conditions.
Avoid forcing plastic pegs directly into stones, compacted rubble or exceptionally hard ground. Where resistance is encountered, reposition the fixing rather than applying excessive impact that could damage the peg.

Growers Own Ground Cover Fixing Pegs FAQs
How many fixing pegs are included?
This pack contains 100 plastic ground cover fixing pegs. Can these pegs be used with weed control membrane?
Yes. Securing weed control fabric and membrane is one of the primary applications for this style of fixing peg. Can I use them with horticultural fleece?
Yes. They can be used to help anchor suitable horticultural fleece and lightweight protective coverings at ground level. Why are the sides of the peg barbed?
The barbs increase resistance against the surrounding soil, helping the fixing remain anchored after installation. Where should the pegs be positioned?
Concentrate fixing points around edges, corners, joins and overlaps, then add intermediate pegs where required to keep the material properly positioned. Are 100 pegs enough for a ground cover project?
That depends on the size and shape of the area and how closely the material needs to be secured. This 100-piece pack is a convenient option for smaller and medium-sized installations. Can the pegs be used in hard or stony ground?
They are intended for suitable soil. Avoid forcing them directly into stones, rubble or exceptionally compacted ground, as excessive force can damage a plastic fixing. Will the plastic pegs rust outdoors?
No. Plastic does not rust, making these pegs a practical option for fixing materials in damp soil and outdoor growing areas.
