    Maris Peer is a second early potato with plenty of flavour. Although they can be used for mash they are best reserved for boiling. They have high resistance to splitting, remaining very solid potatoes. They have medium to good resistance against powdery and common scab. An excellent variety for planting in August and cropping in late October to mid December.
  • Gro-Sure Seed Start’s natual blend of mycorrhizal fungi and friendly bacteria improves germination and establishment of seeds and young plants.
    • 25% better establishment
    • Boosts root growth
    • Locks in nutrients
    • Controls moisture
    • Contains mycorrhizal fungi and friendly bacteria
    Why Use A plant treated with Seed Start can take up more water and nutrients quicker due to the larger root system. This allows the plant scope for extra growth which in turn improves root growth and benefits the whole plant. Due to the larger root section the plant can draw water from an larger area, this means in times of drought the plant will be more resilient. Bigger roots = healthier, bigger plants = higher yield and abundant blooms
    • Water is held around the seed to aid germination
    • Mycorrhizal fungi & friendly bacteria enhance root development
    • Nutrients are held in the soil and feed the plant during the establishment
    Added Wetting Agent
    • Seeds must be kept constantly moist to soften the seed shell in order for germination to take place
    • Seeds must be moist, NOT wet. Insufficient moisture or erratic watering slows down or stops the germination process. Our added wetting agent locks in moisture around the seed and therefore germination is improved
    Clinoptiloite
    • Added clinoptiloite, a natural zeolite or volcanic rock dust, contains an array of basic nutrients and its crystalline structure grabs hold of other available nutrients in the soil stopping them being leached away
    • These nutrients are available to the root system of the plant while its structure also aerates the soil. Roots need to breathe
    Vermiculite 
    • Vermiculite opens up the growing medium so young roots can permeate more easily. Holding a considerable amount of moisture like a sponge it can also act as blanket to help keep seedlings warm and is particularly good for lightly covering sown seedlings
    Mycorrhizal Fungi
    • Fortified with beneficial mycorrhizal fungi which attach to the developing plants’ roots in exchange for some plant sugars. They quickly multiply forming their own extensive root supply, which absorbs nutrients and water to feed back to their host plant.
    • The plant’s absorptive root system is increased greatly and the plant is able to grow faster and stronger
    Trichoderma and Bacillus
    • Our blend of naturally occurring ‘friendly’ soil bacteria’s including trichoderma and bacillus colonise the root system. Because each pack of Seed Start contains millions of friendly bacteria they out-compete harmful soil pathogens within the soil, which cause plant diseases. It does all of this while also releasing locked up nutrients within the soil for the plants roots to uptake
    A healthy, strong plant is more resistant to attack by pest, and stresses caused by heat or drought giving your plant a bigger harvest or flowering period.

    Add a bit of spring sunshine to your windowsill with this cute hedgehog planter and daffodil set. It's also a great way to encourage younger green fingered gardeners, as you can plant the bulbs, care for them and then watch them grow! The kit contains one ceramic hedgehog planter, three miniature daffodil bulbs (Narcissus 'Rip Van Winkle'), potting compost, and clear instructions on how to put them all together to create a beautiful display for your home. Indoor growing intructions: Plant from August onwards, by emptying two thirds of the compost into the planter. Then place the bulbs on top (pointy side uppermost) and cover them with the remaining compost, firming it down gently. Water sparingly so the compost is just moist, but be careful not to overwater. Place the planter in a bright position and try to maintain temperatures around 18-20C. Once in flower, move the planter to a cool, bright room to help prolong the display. Turn the hedgehog occasionally, and keep the compost moist but not waterlogged at all times. When the flowers have finished blooming, the bulbs can be planted outside in the garden.

    • This is a great little gift set that includes everything you will need to grow your own crop of sweet peas. These much-loved annual climbers produce their (often highly scented) flowers in summer, and if these are picked regularly for the vase, it will encourage even more to form.
    • Indoor growing instructions: Prior to sowing, soak the seeds in water for 24 hours (indoors) as this aids germination. Fill 80% of the planter with compost and moisten. Scatter seeds evenly on the surface and cover with a very thin layer of compost and moisten. Move to a warm well lit area; a windowsill is ideal but full sunshine will dry out the compost rapidly. The compost must be kept moist at all times. Seeds will germinate aftre approximately 3-4 weeks. Plants will flower after approximately 12 weeks from sowing. Turn occasionally as the flowers will grow towards the light. Remove dead flowers regularly. After purchase store in a cool dry place.

  • Easy Wildflowers are ideal for someone who wants to attract bees, butterflies or other beneficial insects to their garden. Simply scatter the seeds where you would like them to grow, as evenly as possible, and then rake the ground to mix the seeds with the soil. Water regularly, especially in the drier seasons.
