The loam is what separates it from a plain peat-free mix: it holds nutrients and moisture in a way that bark and wood fibre on their own do not, and it gives a pot some weight and body.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWestland also put sand and grit in the blend for drainage, and enrich it with BIO3 to push root and shoot growth. They describe it as suitable for all life stages of a plant — seedlings, potting on, containers and baskets — which is the argument for buying one 50 litre bag rather than several specialist ones.\u003c\/p\u003e \u0026lt;\u0026gt; \u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e50 litre bag, the largest of four sizes in the range.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePeat-free, with added John Innes loam to hold nutrients and moisture.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSand and grit in the mix for drainage rather than waterlogging.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnriched with BIO3 to promote roots and shoots.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRated by Westland for all life stages, from seedlings to flowering plants.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u0026lt;\u0026gt; \u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePots, containers, tubs and hanging baskets.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePotting on seedlings and young plants.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFlowers, fruit and vegetables in containers.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGardeners who want loam in a peat-free mix rather than bark and fibre alone.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNot for use with ericaceous, lime-hating plants — those need a dedicated ericaceous compost.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u0026lt;\u0026gt; \u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSeedlings: fill the pot, make a hole, and transfer the seedling by a leaf rather than the stem.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCuttings: trim the shoot, dip it in rooting gel and insert it firmly into the compost.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePotting on: water the plant first, ease it out, and set it into the new pot with fresh compost around the root ball.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlanting out: dig a hole twice the depth and diameter of the root ball, backfill, firm and water well.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeed potted seedlings from about four weeks on; Westland's Boost All Purpose Plant Feed is formulated for peat-free composts.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReseal the bag and keep it dry and frost-free between jobs.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u0026lt;\u0026gt; \u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e50 litre bag.
