    Bumped, would like to know the answer to Andreas question.

    I'm out of compost again! This gardening larrk is expensive! I must've spent £50 - £55 quid this year on compost alone:eek:....is that normal?

    My local Aldi had the little bags of compost SEL 99p selling for 49p,not sure if this is nationwide but maybe worth a look.

    We had a tonne-bag size compost delivered at only £39. Good price I think!

    Beechgrove Garden trials different composts each year, but none have ever been as good as the old-skool peat based.

    Aldi's compost is the only one I've used this year (my first year of growing stuff). Plants are happy, so I'm happy :) The garden centers around here are at least twice the price. Am on bag number 5 so far, with number 6 sitting in the corner :D

    Hello Malamala, who sold you the tonne bag? Sounds very interesting. Thanks.

    This is a good idea. If I'd've known I would use so much I would've looked into this, now I know they do it of course ;)
