Abstract
A compost comprises 10-6,000 p.p.m. (by weight of compost) of nitrogen, 50-3,700 p.p.m. of potassium, 30-1,700 p.p.m. of phosphorus and peat having a colloidal content of 1-25% on a dry weight basis and a grain size defined as follows: a top level in which not more than 10% remains on a 1/4-inch mesh or 30% on an 1/8-inch mesh and a bottom level in which not less than 1% remains on a 52 mesh (the percentages being by weight). The compost may contain 0-80% by volume of an inert material with an average grain size up to 3/8-inch may be sand, ground glass, crushed brick, vermiculite or perlite. The compost may be obtained by mixing a " seedling compost " with a " potting base " which seedling compost comprises 10-200 p.p.m. N, 50-1,000 p.p.m. K, 30-600 p.p.m. P as well as the appropriate peat and inert material while the potting base contains extra nutrients (N, K and P) to produce the potting compost of the invention when mixed with the said seedling compost. The potting base may further contain trace elements, e.g. 970 p.p.m. Mg and 165 p.p.m. Fe. Examples are given.
