I went to B&Q for their "bales" of compost (got 6 last year). The bales were the same price as last year BUT 150 litres instead of 125 litres. £10 for two.

 :(We dont even have B&Q in the Dordogne - nearest thing to a downside of living here I've yet found though!

I thought they were 150litres anyway, but I could be getting old!!!  :blink:

All I know is they are still blinking hefty to cycle home with

did you get 2 bags for £10 because i cant see it in my local b&q think they were about £7 for the 150 litre one so still not bad though

[Larkshall]

Yes, I think they were £6.87 each or £10 for two. I've already got four will probably get another two or four.

my local farm shop is great for compost.

Picked up 3 x 70 litres of Bowers Multipurpose for £10 all in yesterday.

[jjbull]

my local b&q also has the grow bags on 4 for £5 think they are either 30 or 33 litres

Got mine eventually, at our local horticultural place.  75 litres for £2.50, but I'm only allowed 4!  Brian thinks I spend too much money on my veggies.  Strange though, he eats the veg after its harvested!!!!

That's near my target price, which is 4 x 80 litres for £10 at Wickes (as sold last year).

I bought a few more using some money off coupons from newspapers before Christmas, but nothing seems cheap anymore.

It's always worth checking out the corner where they have reduced priced/damaged bags:

Got a whole car load of Westland 60l bags for £1 each today:





Shame the 3 for 2 didn't also work!

[GrannieAnnie]

That's defo a good buy David!  Shame our Wickes is only tiny and doesn't do compost and stuff, and our local places like that are at least 8 miles away, so I only get out about once a week, and always miss the best bargains!!!

We have been looking around for compost or top soil to raise the level of our new veg bed - never done this before but worth a try! lol

anyway what a price difference where you go! we looked at many web sites which ranged from around £61 -£120 pounds for a tonne we only need roughly half that then contacted a company down the road from us who said we could collect half a tonne of good quality stuff for £10-£15  ......... pays to shop arround doesnt it!
