Really poor quality “compost”

Really poor quality “compost”, it’s not really compost at all, it’s all woody and full of none composted straw. Extremely disappointing. It’s also full of small plastic mainly blue coloured, some small glass shards, plastic cables and I even got a crushed silver spoon!

Excellent compost…

My order took around 8 weeks to arrive but it was well worth the wait. Delivered direct to my door by a very helpful and friendly gentleman. The organic compost is excellent quality and very reasonably priced.
I've been using this for several years now and the results have been impressive.
Very happy and impressed by this company!

Poor product & very poor service

I bought a full loose load of compost. It basically is not compost, just stable manure that has not had time to break down into compost. It is full of straw, wood chips and wood ash, all of which have not even begun to degrade. It is very light and airy material, being blown around by the wind, and seems to have very little beneficial organic matter within it. There is next to no benefit in me adding this to my vegetable patch since it will tie up the nitrogen until it fully composts down. In addition the volume of material will probably have reduced by half by the time it is ready to use, in another month or two. Therefore I actually will only have received half of what I paid for. I spoke to the Compost Centre and the man refused any kind of resolution, just saying that is how it comes. He said they had never received a similar complaint, and yet when I looked on trustpilot the third entry reported the exact same issue! From my experience, stay away from this provider, because like me you might not receive what you paid for.

Poor service

I phoned in to order bags of soil and compost and was told it would be 8 weeks before delivery. This is a nonsense and I can't see how this is a viable business.

Excellent product

Excellent natural compost product, consequently I'm ordering a second delivery for my allotment. Originally, I was put onto this company by fellow members of my allotment who have used this product for the last couple of years.

"Compost" is almost raw manure

I bought quite a few bags of their product called "Natural Organic Compost". However it stinks of the constituent horse manure and is full of uncomposted straw. This clearly indicates the input material has not been left to decompose sufficiently.
The product is not certified by the Compost Certification Scheme.
We are currently following up to see if the sale of this product as "compost" or "composted" is actually legal.
The sales staff were quite rude over email and won't reply.
You have been warned.

Fantastic service

Fantastic service, from the very friendly lady on the phone who took our order, to the great guy who delivered it, who very happily delivered it over our fence in to the back garden. Very quick delivery and the best price we've paid (having used 2 other companies in the past). Would definitely use again.
