Product Description
Simply the best compost available to the gardener today and now available with reduced peat content!
As part of our drive to improve our ‘green credentials', from 2020 we have reduced the amount of peat in our compost. By increasing the percentage of wood fibre in the mix we have produced a greener and more environmentally friendly compost without compromising results.
This is a bespoke professional mix made to our exacting recipe from one of Europe's leading blenders. It contains 50% composted wood fibre, to open the mix up and get air to the roots, and a precise blend of 3 different grades of peats to balance drainage and water holding. With added Lime, it is pH balanced to give the optimum growing conditions and with starter fertiliser and a wetting agent, to ensure even water distribution in pots and container, it will get your plants off to a head-start.
On top of that it contains a 6 Month Controlled Release Fertiliser - meaning whatever you grow will get a slow and steady stream of nutrients for 6 Months.
Under no circumstances should this compost be confused with cheap bags of low-grade black peats at DIY stores - you will feel the light and fluffy difference yourself and notice the difference in plant growth quickly. Perfect for pots, baskets and planters for growing any plants.
* We offer free delivery on all compost (but if you add other items to your order then this may include a postage surcharge as they will need to be sent seperately).

Good size strong pots, pre-holed at the bottom and around the bottom sides of the pot. You get 4 pots for the price, good strong handles. Delivery is always pre notified. Really pleased with Garden Bargains.

My plants and shrubs thrive on this. Good size bag for me as I have a patio garden and just need it for my potted plants.

The quality and state of the begonias within the parcel was not very good. A number of plants were broken and some were very small. This is most unusual for a supplier who has always proven very good in the past.
Product:
Very good product, well packed and available for use

The service was good but the delivery fees differ and the delivery is quite pricey compared to most companies. It put me off ordering what I wanted as adding another item would put up the delivery cost drastically. Perhaps just have one delivery fee and then people will probably use Garden Bargains more.
Product:
Easy to use and not too moist making it easier and cleaner to use.

received my order in good condition despite it being with courier concerned before the long weekend of the Bank holiday. Somewhere I read plants were not sent out to the customer before a weekend. This is why I didn't give 5 stars.
Also is the compost I ordered suitable for growing my camellia ?
Product:
not yet used, received 10th May
