Hi I want to plant nasturtium seeds but not sure putti potting medium to use. I would like to plant them in situ where they can grow undusturbed. Someone advised that I should use a mixture of sand and cheap compost as opposed to rich fertile compost ?
Nasturtiums flower best in poor soil, so that sounds reasonable advice if you're sowing in trays or pots. However, I usually sow them straight into the ground, especially at this time of year - they do much better that way.
