Compost for Euonymus japonicus

Smythe

If planting Euonymus japonicus plants (not seed), enough for a 3.5 metre long hedge, which compost at the link below do you think would be suitable and/or best to use? There are so many to choose from.

Also, approximately how many litres would be required? The bags range between 10 litre and 120 litre bags. (I've no gardening background, hence my question).

It likes all soil types, so the type of compost is not important, if necessary at all. The existing soil may be perfectly fine, unless it is particularly thin or poor for some reason.

As Srameen says, you really don't need compost unless your soil is particularly poor. You could get one of the multipurpose ones and dig it well into the soil you have. If you are planting from containers it is a good idea to dig some compost into the surrounding soil as sometimes roots are inclined to stay in the pocket of compost they grew in and not expand. If they are bare root (which seems unlikely) then just dig in some compost into the trench where you will be planting.

Yes, from containers.
