Standard multi-purpose compost often compacts over the season, reducing airflow to roots and leading to blossom end rot or poor fruit set. Our Tomato \u0026amp; Veg Mix uses buffered coco coir as the base — which naturally holds moisture without becoming waterlogged — combined with perlite for drainage and a slow-release feed to sustain the plant through its critical fruiting phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuffered coco coir base\u003c\/strong\u003e — pre-treated to balance calcium and magnesium, helping prevent blossom end rot in tomatoes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdded perlite\u003c\/strong\u003e — improves drainage and prevents the mix from compacting over the long growing season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlow-release organic feed\u003c\/strong\u003e — provides a steady supply of nutrients for 4 to 6 weeks after planting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExcellent water retention\u003c\/strong\u003e — coco coir holds up to 10 times its weight in water, reducing watering frequency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeat-free and sustainable\u003c\/strong\u003e — made from renewable coconut husk fibre, supporting the UK peat ban.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTomatoes — bush, cordon, and cherry varieties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeppers, chillies, and aubergines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCourgettes, cucumbers, and squash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeans, peas, and other productive vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrow bags, large pots, and raised beds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFill your pot, grow bag, or raised bed with the Tomato \u0026amp; Veg Mix.
