ICL’s Levington Advance Solutions tailored growing media programme allows you to grow, nurture and protect your crops throughout the growing season in complete confidence.

Rodney is Managing Director and one of the founding directors at Alba. “As production grew and became increasingly sophisticated we started to look around for a more consistent, quality growing media,” he says. “Having conducted a series of in-house trials we were particularly impressed by the overall high performance and consistency of Levington Advance growing media mixes, and switched to ICL.”

Lee Melady and his team at Boultons wanted to differentiate their offering by using peat-free growing media. They turned to ICL’s Dean Sandford to help.

For the nutrition programme Rodney has put his trust in Osmocote controlled release fertilizer, pre mixed in to the growing media.

We now produce a range of shrubs, trees and hedging plants peat free and we are seeing real progress in overall quality.

“All our growing mixes contain Osmocote Exact Standard (12-14 months),” he says. “This consistently gives us the results we are looking for.”

Using a Levington Advance Sustain peat-free growing mix, Lee was delighted with the results.

“Working with ICL our plant quality has noticeably improved, in particular at rooting out and in overall late season plant vigour.

The product quality and ICL’s Levington Advance Solutions service has been first class.”

Situated at Forty Hill, just inside the M25 near Enfield in North London, the Clockhouse nursery has a turnover of £3million. Founded in 1928, the nursery is run by the founder’s grandson David Mills.

Growing a wide range of hardy nursery stock (primarily Hebes), totalling 1.5million plants annually, the Bransford Webbs goes from strength to strength.

“While originally we self mixed, we’ve switched to Levington Advance Solutions mixes,” says David. “For precision nutrition we rely on Osmocote Hi.End or Osmocote Exact Standard.

We use Osmocote Bloom in all our bedding production.”

ICL’s Stuart Gammage with David Mills Clockhouse is now also from Clockhouse Nursery incorporating Prestop bio-fungicide in to their Levington Advance Solutions bespoke mixes. “Since using Prestop 95% of our bare root perennials have taken.”

Bransford’s Karl O’Neill works closely with ICL’s Steve Hughes. “ICL’s custom mix ICL’s Steve Hughes with Karl O’Neill growing media programme - from Bransford Webbs Levington Advance Solutions helps maximise crop potential” For nutrition, Bransford Webbs use Osmocote. “Osmocote makes life much easier for us.” says Karl.

The nursery also uses Exemptor. “We see Exemptor as an essential tool for vine weevil and sciarid control while it also helps controls aphid and whitefly,”

“While the growing media quality and consistency is always good, so too is ICL’s service which is efficient and friendly.”

“With Levington Advance Solutions, the growing media, nutrition and protection is optimised. It is great to have these things taken care of leaving us to concentrate our efforts on other areas.”
