Sowing seeds, potting up containers and baskets, cuttings. Sowing seeds: Fill your pot or tray with Pro-Grow multi-purpose compost to the brim, adding water if dry. Gently press down to give a flat surface. Sow seeds leaving a space around each one. Cover seeds with a thin layer of compost after sowing. Potting up containers & baskets: Fill your containers or baskets with compost leaving room to arrange plants on the surface. Make a hole and position the plant so that the top of the rootball is level with the surface of the compost. Firm down around the plant, water well and top up with more compost leaving a gap below the rim of the pot so that water soaks in. Apply fertilisers after 6 - 8 weeks. Cuttings: Cuttings require a lot of drainage, so mix Pro-Grow multi-purpose compost with perlite or grit.
