HI all i dug up a huge fox glove from an old garden it is about 6 and a half foot tall i put it in a large container to let it settle back in it seems a bit droopy i,m just wondering if normal compost is good enough or should i have used eracious instead? thanks in advance oh yea newbie here too

It's probably just in shock from the move! Make sure you keep it watered....your compost is fine. You'd be better off looking around that old garden again, and see if you can find some younger foxglove plants...they will transplant better, and once you have them in your garden will self-seed and you'll have them for ever.

Yes, I presume it will, as long as it actually survives the transplantation.
