Product Information

Old compost is often on sale - we send secret shoppers to buy our composts, who tell us if they find old compost on sale. It's a very common problem. We also know from our testing that old compost doesn't perform as well as fresh compost. To avoid this, buy bags that look new and aren't faded or heavy, which suggests they have been sitting around in bright sunshine for too long, or have been rained on regularly. For reference, the 50 L bag contains enough compost to fill four large patio pots and three hanging baskets. You may see composts formulated for veg growing.
