Default Source of Mushroom Compost/Manure - Hull Area

Hi all

Just discovered that a previous source of spent mushroom compost has
closed down.
Used this stuff to improve soil before planting hedging and all the
plants have survived and thrived.

Can anyone direct me to a source of cheap spent mushroom compost or
manure or anything that will help recondition soil before planting?
West Hull would be good, but anywhere reasonably local would do. Quite
happy to pay delivery charge or do multiple car trips as necessary.
Where do local allotment users source this stuff.
The volume of compost I am creating simply won't be enough.
TIA
Phil


Try http://www.dandys.org
they do 1 tonne bags, there is a postcode checker to work out the price.

Wickes has a good offer on at the moment: 4 x 75L bags of compost for £10.
Works out considerably cheaper than Dandy's bulk bags, as far as I can work
out, especially if you have a branch nearby..
