Just thought i would mention.We have planted everything in the greenhouse in Travis Perkins multi compost and its all flying.Looks really good stuff too.Some of the Cucumbers are 4in long. Toms and peppers have flowers and look healthy too.

How does it compare price wise with other compost ?i have to get some this week so might go in to look.

[FRUITFULL]

Its 75ml bags so bigger than the normal ones but prices vary in different branches.They were cheaper than the buy 3 for £12 deals in garden centers.Ask them for lots of discount,they can lower the prices as they have a max discount level and they dont want to loose a sale.
I bought a bag of compost from B&Q and from the local garden center and found polythene and plastic in both where as the TP stuff was dark and earthy

Asda do an excellent compost. 70 litre bags -two for £6. Black and totally free from any rubbish. I have had 8 bags so far.

Incidentally  Fruitfull--75ml is about a bucketful but I doubt if you meant that.

You on a bonus Fruity

i cant believe folk buy that rubbish.your plants are only as good as the compost you sow them in.
cutting corners dosen't work in this game.Levingtons or Humax composts are some of the finest on the market.
Focus do a line called PAYLESS i wouldn't even class it as a growing medium.

As i have mentioned before in another thread there has been some terrible compost about this yr  . The green bag from tesco has been one of the worse ive ever seen like bark chippings.

I have been  sticking to levingtons for a while now a bit more expensive but worth it.

The bag of Levingtons compost I used had almost as much junk (wood/plastic/glass) in it as anything else I've tried so far this year, which includes both focus and B&Q stuff.

I used some lidls grow bag compost to top up a couple of tom tubs. Very dark almost silt like and quite claggy, so mixed in some wilko forest gold which is very fibrous and twiggy.
Don`t think i`d want to use either on its own .

Our lotty association got in a range of composts, one of which is Clover multipurpose - absolutely fabulous, no lumps or anything stick-like.  Deffo be getting it again next year.

I ordered 9 x 75L bags of the blessed stuff, so haven't compared it but not happy with it specially as it's not cheap I only got it cos i thought it would be better....Wrong!
Won't be doing that again

[FRUITFULL]

i used john innes once and it killed plants as their boots were always in damp as it retains water too much 
Digger its true honest the TP stuff is brilliant but then maybe thats the south supplier.Not sure if it all would come from the same supplier across the country though.

[MoreWhisky]

It seems a bit pot luck with this yrs compost by the sound of it.

Even batches seem to vary
