Hanging baskets shouldn’t be a struggle! But let’s be honest, keeping them fed, hydrated and thriving can feel like a full-time job, especially when the summer heat kicks in. That’s exactly why these clever little discs exist.
Introducing the latest innovation from the soil scientists behind Rootgrow, a simple, effective way to bring professional-quality results to your baskets and tubs, without the faff.
Inside each of these Basket Starter Discs is a blend of beneficial microbes, balanced slow-release fertiliser and water-retaining gel, all compressed into a biodegradable coir disc that swells up when watered and gets to work straight away.
Just tuck one into your compost at planting time, and you’ll be amazed. These discs bring soil to life, help your plants access more nutrients, hold moisture like a sponge, and keep feeding roots gently over the season. The result? Bigger, healthier plants. Less watering. Less feeding. And more time to enjoy the garden.
Supplied as a resealable pouch of 12 coir fibre discs.
How To Use:
Half fill your basket or planter with compost, insert a disc and cover with a little more compost and plant as normal. Recommended doses are:
Single pot to 3 litres (c. 15cm or 6' diameter) - 1 disc
Small baskets and pots to 7 litres (22cm or 9') diameter - 2 discs
Medium baskets and pots to 15 litres (30cm or 12' diamater - 3 discs
Large baskets and planters > 15 litres (35cm or 14'+ diameter) - 4 discs
Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
