Gardening advice
HI I've realised that I've used John Inn No 2 instead of JI N3 for planting in my honeysuckle in large container. I thought J. I. No2 was the correct compost but apparently not. Is there anyway to put this right
I have used 50% multi purpose compost, 50% John Innins No 2 plus 1/3rd farmyard manure from garden centre. I have also put in generous amounts of Alpine Grit. Do I need to change my mix, I followed someone's advice for this mixture.
Another question please, all my plants, which are in containers or pots. seem to be doing very well. What I have noticed is there is lots of leaf but a smaller amount of flowers. Should there be a ratio of leaf to flowers. I hope this makes sense. I also use Miracle Grow round pellets in each pot
Thank you in advance
