Claire & Telem I think you have missed the question which is how to use up half a bag of ericaceous compost. As Mookins says camellias like as do rhododendrons, daphne, any of the heathers, galtherias... just do a quick google search on acid loving plants Loweth and you'll g et lots of answers.

I think the chamelia uses this type of compost, they are beautiful plants, but would probably need more than half a bag
Im sure lots of people will be able to give you more ideas for this type
