I've just discovered that near to my local recycling centre is a place
that takes all the green waste, turns it into compost and sells it back
to anyone who wants it. No signs or adverts whatsoever, I only found out
through asking what happens to it all.
The cost is £2 per bag or at a £12 a tonne, pro rata. They have a
weighbridge. So I think I could get a trailer load for £3. Might be
worth checking out your local recycling centre if you are a bulk compost
user.

Anyone with any idea what volume a tonne of non-compacted compost would
be?

Ours do the 1 tonne builders bag which is 1 metre cube, delivered for
£35.00

That's expensive! Especially for a product of unknown quality.
We get a tipper trailer load, probably two or three cubic metres of one year
old + Horse manure delivered for £12.00.


We're not allowed manure on our allotment site.
Cos of that herbicide thing.
