This year they have changed the compost - and it is appalling. *The bag I

I have just tried an Aldi bag - and it is much the same (but cheaper). *It even
had a section of an old green plastic plant tie in it. *There was an awful lot
of unrotted small wood chippings in it.

I guess this all comes about by local authorities making "compost" from the
recyclable rubbish. *I know that my own does; I have never bought any directly
from them as I was just not happy at not knowing what was in it. *What if
someone had put some old plant material which had been treated with weed-killer

Moan over.

What do other people use for general purpose compost (growing tomatoes in) *and
also compost for seeds and seedlings?

Judith, do what I have done, go onto the B & Q website and do a review
of it, I gave it 1 star and called it rubbish.
