Garden Supplies in Phnom Penh?
Hello
Right, so I can enjoy some good old fashioned English cuisine occasionally, and to officially cement my transition into middle age, I've had seeds sent over for Basil, Thyme, Parsley, and Mint. However, as much as I search on Google and Facebook I can't for the life of me find a shop selling garden supplies. Pots, soil, food, etc. Anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah. Aeon is expensive and shit, so avoid. For the basics, I like the plant sellers you see around. There's one on St 360, one near the end of St 105?. They sell potting mix and small pots. O'Russey Market is my go to for insecticides, seedling trays, etc. Most markets have a selection of this stuff. Chbar Ampov is good too for bigger quantities.
Good luck with your tyme and please update on any growing success.

Pots at any market, potting mix at the supermarket (Lucky Premium at Exchange Square has it at least), fertiliser at the places that sell seeds at Orussey Market. Actually they probably have potting mix as well so I'd start there and get everything you want.

Re: Garden Supplies in PP
I have found that the "potting soil" sold at those shops on 163 and the like is just orange clay with a bit of burned rice husks to make them look decent. As soon as you get it wet it turns to clay and when it dries you are left with something closer to concrete than potting soil.
The only decent potting soil i have found is from Twin Agri. 50kg of compost for $10. They will deliver it for a reasonable fee. You can mix it with a bit of sand (10-20%) to give it a bit a weight if you want. They also sell various mixes with worm castings if you want some natural fertilizer.

Re: Garden Supplies in Phnom Penh?
Hello Everyone
OK - got some potting soil sorted - to be delivered, nice.
But no joy with pots. Tried two markets (but I am prone to go kind of blind in the markets, admittedly).
Can anyone give me a 100% definite place I can grab some plastic pots, without having to go too far out of town?
Thanks in advance.

Can get pots at Orussey, Old Market. Kandal Market. Just show someone a photo on your phone and they will point the way.

If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!
