Product Information

Bracken provides naturally high levels of potash, essential for fruiting and flowering and significant levels of iron and magnesium to nourish strong healthy plants. Wool features a high natural level of potassium (potash) which is a major nutrient for any plants including fruit, vegetables, and flowers. Sheep’s wool and bracken are perfectly blended to grow healthy, strong, tasty and nutritious produce. The ever increasing bracken cover is not only taking over the landscape, but also represents a problem to the hill farmer.

For years there have been warnings about climate change, on what we need to do to protect and sustain this precious planet. There will also be a final voluntary phase-out target of 2030 for professional growers of fruit, vegetables and plants.Dalefoot Composts are a unique range of environmentally friendly peat free composts produced in the Lake District. It is a fantastic fertiliser and is a healing herb so offers seedlings a fantastic rehabilitative nutrient boost. The gathering of flocks has become very difficult through waist high bracken stands and this very aggressive plant competes with other native vegetation to the extent that other plants fail and available grazing is reduced.

Using old gardening recipes they have worked to develop a range of wholesome composts that are farm-made and do what they promise.You can use it just like any other seed compost, loosely filling pots or trays and placing your efforts in a greenhouse, propagator or warm windowsill.
