Jack’s Magic – what makes it so special?
It’s hard to beat a traditional compost and Jack’s Magic All Purpose Compost is our original and best. It is our signature blend, continuously enhanced for even greater results. Packed with natural nutrients and fortified with seaweed, our exclusive West+2® formula boosts moisture retention, making it perfect for all your gardening needs. Whether you’re seeding, potting, or planting, every plant thrives with Jack’s Magic.
Why is Jacks Magic so special?
The Magic of West+2®
Our West+2® formula has improved water retention which means it helps reduce the compost drying out. It also requires less watering than average peat reduced and peat free composts. It is a fine grade material which enables closer seed contact for improved germination and closer root contact for more water and nutrient uptake. The added calcium enhances nitrogen uptake for strong, healthy growth and green, glossy foliage. The added Magnesium encourages photosynthesis for plant energy production.
Where do you use it?
Jack’s Magic traditional compost is perfect for use all around the garden and for flowers, fruits and vegetables. Use it for seed sowing*, potting, planting as well as container planting too. Enriched with organic fertiliser, this compost will also feed your plants for the first 4-5 weeks after potting so you don’t have to worry. Furthermore, it produces super natural plant growth, as well as exceptional health for plants and blooms.
Use Jack’s Magic All Purpose Compost and you really will see the magic.
Where to start with Jack’s Magic:
Rework the compost between your hands, so it regains its intended texture. Then you’re all set.
Seed Sowing*:
- Fill a seed tray with compost. Water and allow to drain and make a hole in the compost.
- Sow seeds to the depth and spacing mentioned on the packet. Many seeds have specific germination needs which should be carefully followed.
- Water with a fine rose watering can, and prevent drying out with a clear cover.
- Germinate in a warm spot away from direct sunlight. Keep seedlings moist.
- Once seeds have germinated, remove glass / polythene and keep compost moist until seedlings are ready for pricking out.
*For fine seeds and best results we always recommend using a dedicated seed sowing compost.
Seedlings/ Pricking out:
- Prick out seedlings once large enough to handle.
- Hold seedling carefully to avoid damage and gently tease the roots from the compost, using a dibber or pencil.
- Space seedlings to allow for vigorous growth.
- Water regularly until the seeds are ready to pot-on.
Beds & Borders
- Dig a hole twice the depth and diameter of the roots.
- Place your plant in the hole.
- Fill any gaps with compost.
- Water
Pots & Baskets:
- Before potting water plants well and allow to drain.
- Gently tap the pot to remove and shake off loose compost.
- Choose new containers that are clean, have good drainage and enough space to allow strong root growth.
- Put plant in new container and fill space in pot with new compost, firming gently.
- Water well after repotting.
Top Tips for Planting Pots & Baskets
For containers and baskets, line your basket using a coco liner, easy liner or sphagnum moss and fill with compost. Lining your containers and baskets can help with water retention as well as draining water at a consistent pace for longer lasting plant life.
Choosing the right plants will ensure you get the best out of your blooms. Plant with trailing plants around the outside and upright plants in the middle. Fill gaps, firm compost down and water well.
