Does anyone know a good place to buy bulk Organic Compost near the Hills
District in Sydney?

I want to start a vegetable garden & the soil quality is just crap.


You are on clay, I would imagine. I suggest you look into no-dig gardening --
layering newspaper, manure and straw/hay on top of the soil.

From what I remember, there are a few places out that way that will sell you
bulk spent mushroom compost and similar (ie, by the cubic metre or truckload).
Look under landscaping services.
