Multi-purpose Compost Prices 2015

[Scoot]

And 6 was too expensive.....................

Yes. But i don't need it either so would have just been buying for the sake of buying.

[Bigmallly]

I'd have bought 6 & saved 2 for next year adding a bit of feed or used for sowing seeds.

The same kind, from B and M?

I'm hoping not to have to buy ANY next year. I have still got last years compost in all the pots i grew tomatoes in last year. I intend to grow other veg with that compost this year and grow my tomatoes in the new compost i have just bought. Then next year, rotate the compost and grow tomatoes in what i didn't grow tomatoes in this year. Adding some Growmore/BFB to put the nutrients back in. I hope to do this for a few years before i know i will have to eventually buy some more compost (or will i?)

Yup, you will........................unless you set up your own composter.

Literally made me chuckle Scoot..

Same here

Does it take up much room? I have a compost heap which I only started in the Autumn. Is that the same?

Have you used this yet ,if not then halt ,i bought some last year and i found bits of plastic and lots of large bits in it( may have been a one off but im not sure).I used both this and the Growsure and next to nothing came up from the easigrow,the grow sure was nearly 100%.

i'm not trying to ruin you mood,i used mine in the end to top up raised beds.

If you can swap this then do

What do you mean "nothing came up"?

[Bigmallly]

What do you mean "nothing came up"?

I think he means next to nothing germinated.

[Scoot]

I think he means next to nothing germinated.

Does compost really affect germination that much? You can germinate seeds on wet kitchen roll.

[Bigmallly]

It shouldn't as seed don't need any feed to germinate so I'm as confused as you. The only reasons I can think of for a seed not to germinate are non-viability, dry compost or rotting due to over watering or old seed.

[Scoot]

That's pretty much what I was thinking.

Anyway I've got 4 bags of it. And I'm not taking it back lol. The few reviews I have found have been fine.

Are they better than just a compost heap?
