Hello Forum,

Can I use B&Q Multipurpose peat free compost to grow veg in containers?

Would there be any chemical / health issues.

I've just noticed it inly metions plants and flowers on bag.

Cheers

if it grows flowers and plants then it will also grow vegetables but very likely it will have added fertiliser NPK.

Forget NPK, bulk out the compost with soil and horse manure this will give you a sustainable medium to get most plants through a growing season.
