what a shame, I would write to the company sending a picture if you can (or describing it if not) they may refund your money.  If not it will compost, but expensive way of making compost!

Go back to where you bought it from, with a sample / the bag.  Ask for a refund as the product is clearly not 'fit for purpose'.

Good luck  :)

P.S. Please could you avoid using the Caps Lock key in future, it's really hard to read and in internet 'etiquette' it's considered to be shouting  :ohmy: :)

Take it all back of course!

It may seem to be a small problem, but you paid a few quid to get the stuff, and it's clearly not fit for purpose!

Don't worry about telling them straight, they've got to listen and give you a refund or a replacement! Go for it!
