Window Box plant food and toppings
|
There are two basic kinds of compost : those containing soil and those that are soil free and are based on peat. If you are concerned about the environmental effects of cutting peat. choose a soil-free compost made with a peat substitute. These are usually based on coir, and may need extra fertilisers and more frequent watering.
Proprietary 'planter' or' 'multipurpose' composts are generally soil-free with a slow-release feed, wetting agent and sometimes with water-retaining gel added.
All soil-free composts contain additives. such as lime to reduce their acidity, sharp sand to improve drainage, and a fast-acting fertiliser. They are excellent for a summer display, but tend to tire quickly, so are less suitable for permanent plantings. Lighter than soil-based composts, they are a good choice for window boxes. Composts containing soil are a mixture of loam, peat and sharp

Window Box plant food and toppings
John Innes No.2 has twice as much fertiliser as No.1. It can be used for fast growing young plants and for slow-growing plants which will be over-stimulated by too much fertiliser.
For large or mature specimens use John Innes No. 3. This contains three times as much plant food as No. 1 and will sustain plants in the same window box for several years.
If you want to grow thriving acid-loving plants, you will need an acid compost. These composts are lime free and are usually labelled 'ericaceous'. They also have plant food added.
Some arrangements are so dense that the surface of the compost is hidden. However, if the compost is exposed, it is vulnerable to invasion by weeds and moisture will evaporate from it in hot weather; making frequent watering essential.
The answer is to cover the compost with a layer of mulch which will help to reduce these problems.
