buying compost online
« on: June 05, 2012, 16:57 »
Hello we have just brought some veg trugs (manger type raised beds) to use at home and I want to get some bags of compost to go in them, I have had a look on line but I don't seem to be getting much  :blink: at the beginning of the year it was all buy one get one free and now I can only find a few sites even advertising bags of compost ? I will want them delivered (which I have found generally is free in the past) can any one recommend any decent sites  ?? 
some people are like slinkys......they're really good for nothing, but they still bring a smile to your face as you push them down the stairs!!

just to add we need 12 x £60L bags have found somewhere that will deliver for £5 so total cost would be £59.00 does this sound a good deal??

At £5 for a 60L bag that seems a bit steep to me Starry.  :unsure:

I've never bought compost online, but at any of my local garden centres I can get 3 X 60L bags of decent compost for £9.99, so 12 would be £40.

Perhaps you have a local garden centre or builders merchant who will deliver to you? Fiver delivery is OK, but £5.00/bag is very dear for 60 litres. I'd ask around. :)

I have bought from Dandy's Top Soil who sell by the cubic metre bag

Just the job when we built our raised beds at school, and although we had  agrant didnlt want to pay over the odds

Free delivery too
