Jack Frost is about!

It’s been lovely to finally see some sunshine in our gardens. But it’s not time to get complacent. Keep an eye on temperatures, and look up your local average last frost date on the internet for an idea of when it’s safe to plant out tender plants.

It’s #PeatFreeApril !

We’re really proud of our peat-free products, and we have, of course, always been peat-free. When you purchase our composts, you are helping us to continue our work in peatland restoration and saving these precious habitats and vital carbon stores.

If you’re new to Dalefoot here are some tips for success with your sowings:

- Use a watering can with a fine rose, or a spray bottle
- Before watering, put your finger into the pot to check if your plant needs watering
- Ensure good drainage in the bottom of your pot
