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. _________________ irishkitchengarden.blogspot.com |
