Scotts Osmocote Seed & Cutting Potting Mix

This is a very poor product. It has lots of large woody bits and is not suitable at all. Don’t buy it. Try another brand or mix your own. Show details

Plain rubbish, it has large pieces of bark, totally inappropriate. Haven't you people seen what punnets at nurseries contain, ain't rocket science!

New rubbish mixture – This used to be a good seed raising mix, fine loam, coir, loose well draining mix. Looks like the cost cutters have justified their position and turned it into gluggy black rubbish. Don't bother with this cheap product, terrible. What a pity, it used to be fit for purpose.

Yet another manufacturing shortcut to increase profits, much like the downsizing of products for the same price. very 'un-Australian' IMHO.
