French equvilant of John Innes 3

[Jeanneclaire]

Couple of questions please folk,

(1) Can you please tell me what soil I can buy that is similar to John Innes 3.

(2) I am looking for bubble polythene (the large bubbles) to line the green house for winter, any suggestions as to where I may find this.

Thanks in advance.

point 2.  Point Vert and probably the big bricomarches

point 1  you'll be lucky - sorry never seen anything that comes close

Thanks for replying Andy, it was more or less what I expected, as I have had a look round, but thought I would ask just in case I was missing something.  I am pleased I can get the bubble polythene though. Thanks once again.

You could always try mixing your own John Innes number 3 compost,

 7 parts loam (good garded soil)

3 parts compost,

 2 parts sand, (not builders sand)

of course the real mixture would contain fertilisers which you would need to add yourself, athough some compost have the fertilisers added already.

I used to buy bubblewrap for my greenhouse from a company selling cartons and wrapping materials in the UK - it worked out very cheap.  This French site has it (papier bulles).

Papier bulle 1 m x 10 m

€ 7,20

Papier bulle 50 cm x 100 m

€ 29,50

Try searching for "demenager papier bulles".

This one's even cheaper:
