Don't know about use in hydroponics but it would probably make a decent potting-on compost where you want to be able to control the feeding. I doubt it'll be much good in a veg patch other than adding a bit of bulk to the soil which, at nearly £14 a bag, would be a bit wasteful. But I will now have an abiding vision of you doing a Woodentops impression (you may need to look that up), walking round the place going "Bop bop de bop, ickle weeeeed!"JohnKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287357763171250125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4968519523099209702.post-12158553362693298152018-03-10T02:36:04.518-08:002018-03-10T02:36:04.518-08:00I do, so I wondered if the compost was suitable fo...I do, so I wondered if the compost was suitable for outdoor planting. Someone has suggested that it's a bit acidic, so perhaps adding lime will make it workable.
