Re: what's in my compost

Slow release fertiliser would be my guess. It's good stuff and I use slow release fertiliser in my baskets - feeds the plants all through the season.

Or maybe water retaining gel, although it would say on the bag if it contained that.

You didn't actually say if it's a new unopened bag or one left over from last year and already been opened. If it's the latter it could well be some form of bug left offs.

Re: what's in my compost

Hi all,thanks for all the replies,much appreciated.
after much googling it seems its a slow release fertiliser called osmocote.
which is a relief as i have more than enough slugs already !!
