Default Buying compost

I need quite a lot of soil/compost to fill my raised beds, locally I can
only seem to find 30 litre bags at sill prices. Does anybody know a bull
supplier of somebody who sells bags by the hundred at reasonable rates.


I'm wondering if you are like me and have to buy the stuff by the bags
on account of having no way of getting it to the garden otherwise.

I have a small bed I'm developing and everything has to come through
the house, so getting 10 tonne dumped in the driveway isn't really
appropriate.

I've found 120l bags of multipurpose compost (probably not the best
quality, but passable, at two for 8-10 quid reasonably commonly
available at B&Q, Homebase etc. Probably cheaper elsewhere, but its
handy and I can drag himself there on a Sunday.

I probably need about four of them by my reckoning. I'll need more
next summer but for the quantity you get 10 quid seems reasonable.
Sure goes a long way anyhow.
