hi all new to the forum today i was just wondering if this substrate is suitible for a planted tank its New horizon organic and peat free multi purpose compost
Appearance: Coarse bark/timber blend
Odour: Slight woody odour
PH: 6.0-6.5
Solubility in water: Insoluble
Chemical characterisation of active components: Composted bark, timber residues, green
waste, limestone and nutrients, including
hoof and horn, rock phosphate,
Vinasse and bonemeal.
any input will be gladly appreciated
 
the timber residues are just small pieces of floating bark i have removed these ahah forgot to mention
 
I agree with foxfish. Some dodgy-sounding ingredients in there.

If you do use it please let us know how you get on.

The limestone will increase your water's pH and hardness significantly. Not usually desirable in a planted tank.
 
i had a bag spare and just wonderin if it would work going try in a small tank tomorrow i think if it goes well il try in my 37 gallon
