    I am struggling to find a decent compost for hanging baskets and window boxes. In the past, I have mixed my own garden compost in with a shop bought bag and it's been OK, but not brilliant. I'd be interested to know what others have found to be successful. :)

      Hi

      after looking around and didn’t think good enough I have mixed my own

      50% multipurpose and 50% coir , added swell gel, perlite and slow release fertiliser

      Looks good
