Quality isn't guaranteed - our compost trials reveal which composts are consistently good and which can be variable. A1: Levington compost contains forest by-products, carefully processed into wood fibre to help you grow plants that improve your environment and make the world a more beautiful place. There are a lot of compost varieties to choose from, and it can feel a little overwhelming at first glance.All three tests are carried out by an expert at a horticultural institute, and the compost for seeds and young plants test takes place in a temperature and humidity-controlled greenhouse. Acid-loving plants such as azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons need an ericaceous compost that has a lower pH, meaning it’s veering into acidic soil territory.
