John Innes compost
John Innes denotes a type of compost rather than a specific manufacturer. The assortment of John Innes composts originated in the 1930s at the John Innes Horticultural Research Institute, honoring the legacy of the 19th-century developer and philanthropist, John Innes, who dedicated his wealth to advancing horticulture. Various compost brands produce John Innes composts, renowned for their suitability in fostering prolonged plant growth in pots and containers.
What sets John Innes apart from other composts?
John Innes composts stand out for their substantial weight compared to other potting mixes, owing to the inclusion of loam, or soil, alongside peat or its alternatives, sand, and fertilizer. Loam, a blend of sand, silt, and clay, undergoes sterilization to eradicate weed seeds, pests, and diseases.
The advantage of incorporating loam lies in its ability to provide a consistent supply of nutrients and moisture. With excellent drainage, it promotes favorable soil structure and aeration, ensuring efficient water and nutrient absorption and release. This characteristic, often referred to as having a high level of "buffering," makes it a preferred choice among gardeners.
