Buying Compost Direct

As someone who once asked her husband for a ton bag of manure for her birthday (inexplicably he didn’t oblige) I am a great convert to the usefulness and convenience of having compost delivered in bulk, as opposed to driving to the garden center and lugging several small bags home in the boot of the car. It is more environmentally friendly – one delivery lorry going to multiple drop-offs instead of numerous individual car trips and no need to dispose of numerous empty plastic compost bags. And it’s not just compost blends that can be delivered in bulk, there are soil conditioners, bark mulches and topsoils too. Compost Direct is a nationwide service that supplies British products that are organic, peat-free and from sustainable sources. Their Veggie Gold, a blend of compost, well-rotted manure and top soil is ideal for anyone planning to install some raised beds for vegetable growing while their Jubilee Compost is a blend of soil improver made from composted organic matter with added grit to help open up heavy clay soils. Anyone got a birthday coming up?
