Smelly compost, we had allergies rashes.
The compost mixture was quite dirty, and smelled of drainage water, we also had a lot of allergic reaction to it for the following few days. I’ll never buy compost form b&q again, sorry to say this.

Great product
Really nice compost. The added John Innis gives it a bit more texture & grittiness to allow good absorption & drainage. Standard compost seems to initially repel water & it just sits of the surface of a pot. I've just been planting Japanese Maple seedlings & cuttings & they don't become dislodged when watering. I recently planted lots of annual lobelia in pots with this compost & they've doubled in size in a week!!

Low Nutrients, Woody Composition
I bought this product last month for value for money. The compost is of poor quality and dose not contain enough nutrients to support healthly growth. I am now having to add Miracal grow liquid feed. I have now switched to a quality compost for my hanging baskets.
