Probably not. I'll only see it as worthwhile because I *don't* then
have 5 cubic m of the stuff lurking about for years and I can actually
use my own compost heap rather than the next door neighbour's :-/
I only have half a standard plot and it's taken me two years to polish
off the last delivery (almost). That was cow, and never again...
waaay too heavy and sticky!* I reckon the advantage of a few bags at
once for me is I can back the car up to the plot, drop it off and
stick the bags right where I need them via the wheelbarrow.

I've only just found the source, so I dunno what it's like either, and
I forgot to phone tonight to arrange a pickup.
