PAS Compost?

[Mumbles]

Hi

I have found PAS 100 certified compost. £30 for a bulk bag delivered (I think a bulk bag is just over 1 ton)

What is PAS 100 Certified compost? does this seem like a good price?

thanks

This is what I got when I googled it, seems like its just an industry standard for quality BSI PAS 100 FAQs | WRAP UK

Thanks. I'm so bad at googling!

its most probably the compost that is made from the green/brown bins and made at the recycle centres

here in cambridge, we can get it for free

and it would not surprise me if some companies are sourcing it for free and re-bagging it and selling it to garden centres, as some of the stuff available is really 'carp' and consists of grass cuttings, twigs etc etc

That's almost certainly what it is

So do you think it's be ok to use? I was going to use it as a mulch on my allotment for the worms to take down over the next few months. (The allotment is new to me and I have a small compost bin that will never cover 150sq meters)

Sounds ideal to me if that's what it is, more of a soil improver than a commercial MPC

Not sure about the cost / value though
