    Seed compost

    Posted by david1107 on January 10, 2024 at 1:47 pm

    Can anyone recommend a peat free compost for seed sowing that is not already infested with fungus gnats? I have tried sterilising in the microwave which kills the eggs and larvae but stinks the house out and boiling water which is messy and slow.

    thank you

    Hi David, I dont think there is such a thing just by the very nature of the product.

    Might be a fluke bag but I have got on very well with Levington Peat Free Seed compost Blue bag

    I recently used Westland Seed Compost and found it dried out very quickly and almost set like concrete. 😕
