Cheap compost

[shaza114]

Hi
compost is now starting to be sold �2.50 for 20 litre bag in Tesco (last year it was on offer at �1!) does anyone know of anywhere with good offers for potting/seed compost?
Thanks

How much peat does it contain, do you know?

[OllieMartin]

Netto were doing 3 tomato growbags for �1. I'm using them as growbags, but no reason why you can't tip the compost out of them.

EDIT: That seems WAAAAY too cheap. Maybe it was 3 for �3.

Ahhh Netto......................

How I miss thee.

Another company I wish would expand to the frozen north.

As you are in devon try Trago Mills they are doing 3 X 70lt bags for �8, you will need to sieve it for seed sowing. Dont think it has any peat in it.

I get mine from Wickes. It works out at 4p/litre. Sometimes they do a special order which can reduce it even more. It's not peat free but it is good stuff.

Oh how I wish I wasn't so old......I get confused really easily.....................If it's seed compost you are after, Wilko's are doing a good deal.........think it was 25lts for around a �1.............for MP, I always get mine from B&Q 3 for �10..........Personnal choice.

this weekend B&Q have 3 bags MPC for a tenner

[Bigmallly]

Cheers HM.........might treat myself to half a dozen bags.....I'm so easily pleased......

B&Q MPC came out top in the Which? survey both for seeds (i was surprised!) and potting on. Think it is about 40% peat. Best peat free was New Horizon Growbag. Sorry cant remember prices - motherhood and then old age have addled my brain :-)

Best peat free was New Horizon Growbag. Sorry cant remember prices - motherhood and then old age have addled my brain :-)

Which quote it as �3.49 for 33 litres.

If you need a lot of it then Wickes are doing a good deal:

Multi-Purpose Compost - Gardens - Wickes

The Wickes local to me are doing 4 x 75l bags for �12 works out at 4p/l

I went out yestday and bought a lot of compost.. from various places People were looking at my funny whilst I was working out the cost per litre on my phone and writing it down on every compost offer they had

My car suspension is low as it is, I thought I was going to scrape the road driving back !

Hi

I've just been past my local poundstretcher and they're doing 20 litres for 89p.

I'm not great at arithmetic but I think this is slightly cheaper than the offer B & Q are doing which is 3 x 70l for a tenner.

I was on foot and had the dog otherwise I'd have picked up a few. (I wonder if I could train her to pull a sled).

they're also doing peat (not sure how environmentally friendly it is)

4.45p/l

So not bad really..is it peat free?

I've been busy collecting compost when it was on offer - cleared B&Q out of their growbag offer (4 x 33l for �5 - I think Nicos may have mentioned it in some thread - so that worked out at 3.78p/l) - as you can see from the attached picture
