Can anyone work this out please?
In message , Ben Short
writes I need to fill a raised bed area with compost or horse manure. I can get it in the builders bags, the big ones used for sand etc, for £45 delivered, however B&Q do a bag of compost which is 125 litres for £6.70. Now I dont know how much is in these big bags but wondered if I needed 2 big bags would it be cheaper buying it from B&Q rather than the builders bag full from the local garden shop. A "jumbo bag" is around 1 cubic meter, or 1000 litres, which would make the garden centre stuff cheaper. If you have a use for the jumbo bags (e.g. as compost bins) the balance tilts further - B&Q sell jumbo bags at several pounds each. My only problem is the garden centre stuff is a little on the sandy side. Do you mean there's a little sand left over from the previous use of the jumbo bag, or has the garden centre product been intentionally mixed with sand? Thanks folks -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
