Peat Free Compost Discs 50pk

What Are Peat Free Compost Discs?

Peat Free Compost Discs are biodegradable, environmentally friendly compost products that help reduce the need for peat-based composts, which are harmful to the environment. These discs are made from natural and sustainable materials, providing an excellent growing medium for your plants. When you add water to the discs, they expand into a nutrient-rich compost perfect for seedlings, herbs, and flowers.

• Height: Each disc measures approximately 3cm in diameter before expansion. Once hydrated, the discs can expand up to 10 cm in height.
• Spread: The expanded compost, once used in seed trays or pots, spreads evenly across the container, making it easy to sow seeds and grow healthy plants.

These compost discs are ideal for use in small containers, seed trays, and pots, helping conserve space while providing ample growing room for your plants.

How to Use Peat Free Compost Discs

Using Peat Free Compost Discs is easy and efficient. Whether you are starting seeds or transplanting seedlings, these discs simplify the process and promote healthy plant growth.

1. Prepare the Discs: Begin by placing the Peat Free Compost Discs into a seed tray, pot, or container. The number of discs needed will depend on the size of your containers.
2. Add Water: Slowly pour warm water onto the discs. As the discs absorb the water, they will expand and create a moist, nutrient-rich compost.
3. Allow the Discs to Fully Expand: Wait for the discs to expand fully. This typically takes a few minutes. Once expanded, the compost will be loose and easy to work with.
4. Sow Your Seeds: Once the compost has expanded, you can sow your seeds directly into the compost. Gently press the seeds into the surface and cover with a thin layer of compost if necessary.
5. Water Regularly: Ensure that your plants are kept moist by watering them regularly. The compost will retain moisture, making it easy to maintain the right environment for seedling growth.

Maintenance of Peat Free Compost Discs

Proper maintenance of Peat Free Compost Discs will ensure they remain effective for your gardening needs. Here are some tips to keep them working well throughout your gardening season:

• Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Keep unused Peat Free Compost Discs in a cool, dry location to prevent them from absorbing moisture prematurely. This will ensure the discs remain in good condition for future use.
• Watering: Ensure that the discs are watered thoroughly, but not excessively. Over-watering can cause the compost to become too soggy and may affect the growth of your plants.
• Monitor Moisture Levels: Since the discs are designed to retain moisture, be sure to check regularly that your plants are not waterlogged. The compost should stay moist but not soggy.
• Use as a Growing Medium: Once expanded, the compost is excellent for supporting plant roots, but it's important to remember that it should be refreshed as your plants grow. Adding more peat-free compost or organic matter can help maintain soil structure and fertility.
• Replanting: If you need to repot or transplant seedlings, make sure the compost is still loose and airy, allowing plant roots to expand freely. If the compost has compacted too much, add a fresh layer or mix it with other organic compost.
