Rocket planted on 2nd February.

At 12-15 today a light went out in my life when my best mate and wife carol passed away after three and half years fighting cancer

Sorry to hear your sad news Robo, end of a long battle that sounds to have been bravely fought.

Back to Compo's potting mix question.

I've found my fertiliser notes which seem to suggest if you use a 6" pot as your measure a JI3 equivalent would need about 60 gm fish, blood and bone in the 6½ pot mix. I think that is too much but I can't see the error in my calculations, I use about 35 to 45 gm (I use 6 little scoopfuls and I've just weighed them!).

So sorry to read your news Robo.

I had put another post up, but quickly removed it, as it was one of my off the cuff updates and not appropriate to leave in place after I spotted your sad update in the thread, which I initially missed.

..and to add a thought ref Compo's/Geoff compost mix. We used to make up a soil based compost at work...only down side was that we couldn't sterilise the soil and we used to have to be busy picking out weed seedlings. The real bonus I felt of having a degree of soil in the mix was a subsequent much better transference to the open ground, real world, on planting out.
