Mix in the same amount of horticultural sand, and stir the mixture well to ensure there are no lumps or large clumps. Then they tested for growing on young plants and seedlings - 20 snapdragon and 20 tomato seedlings were potted up in each compost.

All plants were rated on size, quality and leaf colour. As explained above, seeds are incredibly delicate. It doesn’t take a lot to kill them or disrupt the germination process.
