Product Information

If you’re looking to grow vegetables in a container or pot, make sure you choose one large enough for the plants once fully grown, so that they won’t become over-crowded. I have been using J Arthur Bowers New Horizon compost range since it first appeared. It is organic and peat free, based largely on composted wood waste. I have managed to grow everything I need in it fairly successfully and it is my first choice having tried, as far as I know, all available peat-free organic composts. No, there aren't very many Dig a hole twice the depth and diameter of the roots. Place your plant in the hole, fill any gaps with compost and then water. West+ creates the optimum structure and air spaces in the compost to deliver the very best root growth. Until now gardeners had to choose between being the best gardeners they could using a peat based compost or being eco-friendly using an inferior peat free offering. But now gardeners have no need to compromise any longer with New Horizon Peat Free Compost, from Westland.

New Horizon is a naturally peat-free formulation. It is specially created to be the perfect compost for all plants by providing triple the goodness.

Our unique wood fibre West+ creates the optimum structure and air spaces in the compost. Hence it delivers the very best root growth possible. New for 2008 is a vegetable planter and a vegetable compost which appear to be a mixture of wood and coir, as far as I can tell. The growing bag has been re-named, I think, as a tomato growing bag.

There’s no container necessary for this step-by-step guide on how to grow potatoes, as you can sow them directly into the compost bag! New Horizon All Vegetable Compost is fantastic for growing potatoes and it’s 100% sustainable, natural and peat-free. It’s specially blended for all types of vegetables and feeds for up to 6 weeks. Both the planet and your plants will thank you! Work out the correct spacing for your plants and position them in their planting position so that you can make sure that you are happy before they are planted. Take each plant out of its pot and position it in a prepared hole, making sure that the top of the roots is just below the level of the surrounding soil. It's nice and clean, and has a manure-like smell which the New Horizon growing bags used to have. It immediately felt lighter to me - because of the coir, I guess. I've been using it in the same way as before, neat for small pots and mixed with garden compost for larger ones. (I sow seeds in a proprietary seed compost from Nature's Own).Hold seedlings carefully to avoid damage and gently tease the roots from the compost. Space seedlings out and remember to water regularly.

New Horizon All Vegetable Compost can be used all year round from January to December. We recommend using the product in a well-ventilated place and avoid breathing in dust. Always wear gloves when gardening and wash hands after use. So, this season, J Arthur Bowers have altered and expanded the range. Until this year we were offered garden compost, a growing bag and a general purpose compost (the latter was the one I used). There was also a brief appearance of a coir-based product which has not been continued. New Horizon is the next generation of growing media with growing performance, effectively competing with peat-based products. Therefore offering a truly high-quality and also sustainable peat-free alternative. Our unique granules in BIO3 absorbs and stores as well as releases moisture into the compost. This results in the optimum water management for the plant, and thus the biggest and best blooms possible. New Horizon Composts are naturally peat-free formulation that gives every plant triple the goodness. This peat-free formulation is ideal for all types of plants and can also feed your plants for up to 6 weeks.A perfect blend of Biofibre, West+ formulation and Coir+ to stimulate instant plant energy, let roots and leaves thrive and sustain nutrients for longer I am well aware that I could easily be watering less, and the weather is different, so do take that into account - I can't provide a controlled experiment! I will soon be planting up one of the vegetable planters with cucumbers, so I'll see how that goes too.
