Hi everyone, a quick question pertaining to compost, if I may?
I�m going to do some more veg this year in pots (quite a few pots it has to be said) together with a number of crops in a bed which I�ve carved out as a vegetable plot. I�ve added compost to the plot, together with a few spoonfuls of fish, blood and bone.
Now, to the pots. I have some bags of Westlands multi-purpose with added John Innes together with some bags of New Horizons. I have many pots, but I don�t think I have enough bags of compost to stretch across all of my pots and, given the current situation, I�m finding it quite hard to source more bags. I do though have some leftover mushroom compost from last year which my landscape gardeners used when we totally redesigned the garden.
My question: Do you think it would be OK if I mixed some of the compost (from bags) that I have with this mushroom compost for those crops that I�m going to grow in the pots? I�m going to grow the following in pots: runner beans; broad beans (Sutton); aubergines; peppers; tomatoes; courgettes. Are there any in that list where a mixture with mushroom compost might be detrimental?
Apologies in advance if this sounds like a dumb question. Thank you, in advance, for any help that you might be able to provide.
Kind regards,
Marbles
