Hi
Can anyone tell me if the normal DIY store growbags are organic?

Hi,
I got some at B&Q last year but not sure if they have got fresh stock in this year yet.

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

Some are some aren't - if they're marked organic then they will be but otherwise not, if you see what I mean. Seem to remember B&Q had some own brand ones which were only slightly more expensive last year that were labelled as organic. Don't know what they were like as I didn't buy any from there.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

General rule with all products - if it isn't labelled ORGANIC, then it isn't. Organic is quite a selling point so if it is then producers will certainly make us awareComment

Yes I agree with Rustylady. I have seen ones with and without ORGANIC on the bags, so it's just a case of looking for them.

Its only organic if it says organic on the bag.
This is an example of organic compost available mail order.. http://www.organiccatalog.com/catalo...roducts_id=496
And I'm looking at a picture of New Horizon compost in the Which? magazine at the mo, which came tops by the way in peat free trails and it says organic nutrients on the bag. I know its more wildly available than it used to be. Green bag, yellow writing. Hope that helps.Blogging at..... www.thecynicalgardener.wordpress.comComment

Did you here about the man who bought some "grow bags" from B&Q kept watering them & nothing grew so he took them back & complained.Originally posted by Phill of Eastbourne View Post

That was the same bloke that drove away from the showroom in his new car, switched on cruise control, leaned back in the seat and crashed at the first bend!Geordie

You do see lots of garden products with 'organic' on them (B&Qs chicken poo pellets for example I saw last year, said organic but weren't certified organic). You need to be sure that its 'soil association' approved (or similar) and isn't just marked organic because it contains organic (as opposed to inorganic) ingredients.
Gem used to do soil association organic grow bags, but not seen them in our local garden centre unfortunately.Last edited by smallblueplanet; 06-02-2007, 10:21 PM.To see a world in a grain of sand
