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:http://gardener.wikia.com/wiki/John_Innes_compost

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

Sounds a good deal to me. I can have a truckload delivered loose.
Dunno what the charge would be.
