I was surprised when I opened my first bag this year of HomeBase Multi-
purpose Compost.



The law on compost means that we will have to get used to a differnt
type than we were used too, the providers, are having to drop their
peat content and make it up with alternatives, this year I have tried
four differnt brands, none of which I would have been happy with ten
years ago, Wickes, Westlands, Levingtons and Lidles

Thank goodness for some decent homemade compost , mixed with a bought
in bag, add vermiuclite and chicken pelletts and that is then ok to
use
