Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good quality Multi Purpose Compost other than
J. Arthur Bowers. We've found this to be rather inferior & not as good
as it used to be.

Kind regards

This compost business is all crap, Get down to your local recycle
centre and see if they sell it there. Our's sells it for £2/ big bag.

It's rough stuff full of little bits of wood etc. However, I riddle
it and add sand as neccessary. Works out at a fraction of the cost.
I get a ton bag of sand from the builders merchant, lasts for years.

If you want to get really technical:

That's interesting. How big is your Big Bag for £2.00? Our local council do
a 1 ton builder's bag for £35.00 delivered
