Hi

I have some left-over ericatious compost, I used it for my blueberry bushes. Can I use it for normal veg seedlings. For sewing ect.

Ericatious compost is for lime hating plants. I think that you would be better to get some ordinary seed compost for sowing. Fuscias like it though.

Hi

I have just potted a fuscia into a bigger pot, using ordinary compost, will that be ok, or should I change it.

Keep it for topdressing you blueberry bushes later in the season!

The Fuscia will be fine. It was just a suggestion for using the other compost.
