Compost differences

A warning to all:

Well I bought some more compost, 3 50L bags for £20 not cheap but said organic, peat free, soil association approved, no chemicals. It is Blue Diamond own label "Growers Gold, peat free organic fruit and veg compost". It seemed really good stuff to handle and was thinking of recommending it if you had one of their garden centres near you.

Well I potted up my toms, aubergines and peppers using it on Monday. I remember looking in the evening and one tomato plant looked a bit droopy but thought it would pick up. we were out all day Tuesday and when I looked Wednesday morning, they were in a right state. Instead of all standing erect, a lot were fallen over and/or with curled up leaves. I spent yesterday repotting in some compost off the heap mixed with soil, not brilliant and a bit claggy but a lot better than the bought in stuff.

It will be a few days before I know how many will survive. This morning, I also potted up some seedlings I had discarded on the bench as they were in far better shape.

I would say it is Aminopyralid contamination - so much for "Chemical free" on the gag.

I don't think I will be buying
