Best Multi Purpose compost 2015...Your thoughts please.

Yeah, I always use this. Whilst probably not the best, it's always been consistent and certainly good enough for my needs. I normally sieve it for seed sowing and find that germination is good.

 

its that size is the problem getting into the car and out

 

I have bought the 125L size only once ! What a time getting them in the car and out of the car into the garage . Its the 75litre size for me . I can get two under each arm and balance one on my head

 

My local garden centre will deliver free but even then I find I waste loads from the big bags by spilling it either when I open them or when I move the open bags around.

 

done that in the boot not knowing the bag had ripped

 

When I buy these big bags of Verve I get someone at B&Q to put them in the car and when I get home place the wheelbarrow alongside the boot and drag it into that. I can then tip it out where I want it to go.

 

I use the B&Q one called Verve, I've never had any complaints tbh, but I'm not as skilled at the gardening business as a lot of you, but not much dies (unless I forget to water it, which isn't the composts fault!)

 

Hi just got back from the garden center , bought Jack Magic 60 ltr £5.50 and buy two get one free "mangers special " for the weekend only .

I have opened the bag up, its the best I have seen in years and looks similar to when I make my own mix up . Does look like it has a lot of sand in the mix but I quite like that as it stops it going clumpy. The only thing is it says it can do it all seeds potting on etc

If you need a large quantity of compost, B and Q are doing an offer for 2 x 125 litre bags for £10 for 4 days only from Friday 4th April. Normal price is £6.73 each. Cheap per litre and decent reviews for the Verve compost.

 

4p/litre is a good price, even better than you'd get if you had access to a 10% on Wednesdays card.
