as it says really lads an lasses.. can any uk growers reccomend a gd soil for growing already established plants, cant find any gd ones apart frm the hydroshops rip offs. wud appreciate the help in a bit of a fix:leaf:
 
just ad a look at a website should i be looking for something thats gd for orchids? they require same types of soil?
 
theres agd range in b and q but wtf is best, i know slightly acidic and gd npk, peat free is best yeah? theres john innes no 2 4 quid a bag sounds ok? cmon u lot gotta buy it in the morning gis a hand.
 
Hmmm, i just got a huge 50 litre bag of potting soil from lidl for 1.99, and the quality isnt bad, probably not as good as the 40 litre bag i got from wilkinsons that was 2.99, i think basically uou pay for you get, miracle grow and john innes soil will probably be of the highest quality m8, but i've heard that the john innes soil sometimes has too many nutes and can burn the roots of a new plant. I am a noob to be fair so probably not the best person to reply, but i would say if you are goign to b and q then the familiar advertised tv brands are probably best, but saying that if you are goign to be feeding the plants plenty of nutes at a later date then a cheap soil could be just as good, depends on texture really, a nice fluffy soil would do the trick.
 
I get some Multipurpose w/ added John Innes compost from Netto 2 for £5 and mix in about 40% perlite. My plants seem to love it. You might need to sift it if intended for seeds as there is usually a few big bits (though i've never had any problems with mine)
