Description
The Westland Multi-Planter Veg Compost is an innovative growing solution designed to be used in three different orientations, each carefully optimised to replicate the perfect growing depth for a wide range of crops. It allows gardeners to achieve results without the need for raised beds or permanent installations. Whether you’re gardening on a balcony, patio, or allotment, this adaptable planter makes it easy to grow your favourites exactly where you want.
- Give your veg more room to grow
- 3 ways to grow for optimum water control and strong, healthy plants
- Optimised rooting depth – more roots, more nutrients, more yield
- Superior water holding
- Added wetting agent to ensure even distribution and easier rewetting
- Enriched with magnesium and 6 week feed
Before you begin - Shake and squeeze the planter to help loosen the compost. Position the planter in the correct orientation depending on what you are growing. Lay it flat for an 18cm depth for planting salads, herbs, and bushy crops such as strawberries, peppers, and chillies. Flip it on its side to achieve a 30cm depth that’s 50% deeper than traditional growbags, perfect for peas, beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Stand it upright for a game-changing 37cm of depth. Ideal for growing long-root crops like carrots, parsnips, and even potatoes.
Do the prep - Make plenty of drainage holes on the underside of that orientation. Then cut along the line markings to make the planting hole.
Fluff up the compost - With gloved hands, remove enough compost to make a planting hole sufficient for the root ball of the plant. Rework the remaining compost in the planter between gloved hands or using a hand fork to break up and regain its intended texture.
Get planting - Place the planting hole and top up with the removed reworked compost. Firm in and water well. For potatoes, remove half the compost, rework the remaining compost in the planter, and insert chitted seed potatoes and top up with 15-20cm of the reworked removed compost. Then position in a sheltered spot, leaning against a wall or shed. For tomatoes, peas, and beans, add supports before you plant. Keep the compost moist; in hot weather, daily watering may be required.

Quantity Calculations
Quantity Calculations
Topsoil and Sand
Length (m) X Width (m) = m2
m2 X 1.2 X Depth (inches)... then divide your total by 36 = tonnes required
Bark, Mulch and Compost
Length (m) X Width (m) = m2
m2 x 0.05 = cubic metres per 2 inch/50mm depth
Garden Lawn Turf
Length (m) X Width (m) = amount of rolls needed. We advise that you order 10% extra so that you have plenty for offcuts.
Natural Stone Paving
Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 you need. Our packs are 15.25m2.
Gravel and Slate
Length (m) X Width (m) = m2
m2 x 0.04 = tonnes per 1 inch/25mm depth
Crusherrun
Use the Gravel Calculator then multiply by 1.25 (= tonnes per inch)
Conversion:
1 tonne = 1000kgs / 1 Jumbo Bag
1 cubic metre = 1000ltrs / 1 Jumbo Bag

Weeds
We do not chemically treat our products for weeds. Weeds thrive in warm, wet weather and especially in very fertile soils and composts like our own. Although every care is taken to remove weeds during our screening process we can not guarantee that weed seeds are not present in the soil or compost that you receive. To keep your topsoil organic we suggest pulling up common weeds, when and if they appear, instead of using chemical weed-killers. Or purchase some of our anti-weed prevent membrane and some gravel or mulch, for an easy weed-free garden!
Gravel/Stone Size & Colour
Images are for representation only. All products that Dandy’s supplies are naturally occurring products and may have slight variations in colour, size and content, individual rocks, stones or cobbles made be broken or misshaped because of this. Sizes of products specified are approximate and can vary. Naturally occurring products such as slate, natural stone paving or gravel are sourced from quarries and so can often differ in appearance slightly from load to load.
