I have bought seven bags of composted garden waste, produced by my
Local Council, at £2.50 per 50 litre (or is it 40 litre?) bag. The
stuff is very dark in colour. It has a fine and reasonably even
texture. It is beautifully friable and smells earthy. I have started
using it as a mulch.

Does any urgler have any experience of similarly produced compost? If
so, would he/she care to share her/his experience?

I have just put 10 bags on my garden as mulch the only problem I have had
is that it dries out quite quickly and then it is easily blown about
especially by the flymow. My main worry is how much conifer is in the mix
and will it be toxic to some plants. It has been down a month and so far no
sign of problems.
