Westland MPC 50l
On offer at 3 for £10 at my local garden centre, usual price £4.99/bag.
The product:
Out of the bag:
Sieved:
What's left:
Some chunks of wood and some fibrous stuff that wouldn't go through the sieve. I don't usually sieve it so I was quite surprised how much was left behind.A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP. - Leonard Nimoy

I bought some organic compost (with a picture of carrots on the back) 40l for £2.49 from A1di but I don't have a sieve. I just use my hands to get lumps of wood out usually. Iv got a feeling it will be good like L1dls tho-same sort of shop with non rip-off prices but with good quality still?Location : Essex

Excellent thread, small suggestion.
If you edit the first post and update that it saves people avhing to search through the thread. So put the stuff on #50 on the front.
Would also be good, although a little more work to add links in the first post of the thread to the posts where people have added images eg Westland MPC 50l
Keeps all the info at the top of the thread, easy access and makes it a fantastic resource.
Thanks so much for doing it.Last edited by ugley_matt; 28-02-2015, 01:31 AM.

Thanks for the suggestions Matt. I update the list after a new entry has been listed. I will look into putting the links. The updated list was an afterthought and cannot be placed at the start of the thread.Last edited by Bigmallly; 28-02-2015, 09:23 AM.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

Easigrow from B & M Bargains. 3 x 70 ltrs for 10 quid. +4.76p per ltr
It was very heavy when bought. and in wet lumps when opened.
It was hard to riddle, even with my metal sieve.
Some twigs, a few small stones and a few tiny bits of wrapping and plastic.
Even when sieved it was still in small lumps. No good for sowing seeds but ideal for topping up the planters round the garden.
Not as good as jacks magic but far better than some of the stuff i have bought over the years. Its described as low peat.
