Is there a good all purpose potting compost without bits of rubbish mixed in?

I have came across Horizon and like it the best so far no rubbish in it.

I like Arthur Bowers - no rubbish so far.

Levisons used to be good but now it is like most that I have seen, lots of pieces of wood and I find that most of them seem to have a lot of weed seeds in them, I thought that it was supposed to be treated but I must be wrong I don't know about anyone else, I bought Miracle Grow once and that had everything you could think of in it,i.e. bark, twigs, fencing panel wood, will never buy that again.

Plenty if you are prepared to spend a bit extra and buy a lot at a time.

Like Catty, I get Durston gro bags and compost from Milk and More. I don't drive a car and so it's convenient to have it delivered free of charge. Most things grow ok and it doesn't have bits of rubbish in it either.

Just the same as you John, up until two years ago I bought Miracle Grow but it became full of rubbish to cut down the amount of peat. Likewise with Wickes. Lately I have been using Grow Wise, although it is an economy brand it contains little rubbish and can be bought from garden centres.

Absolutely brilliant compost! Used by many professional growers.

EEK! I've just bought 3 bags of Miracle Grow, thinking it should be a better bet ! Haven't opened it yet. Will do so with some trepidation tomorrow!

Scotkat: I've got this year's Wickes compost and its fine, no lumps of rubbish. I understand the one they sell which is labelled peat free, not in a green bag, is a bit rubbishy, but I haven't tried it - that's why I recommended the stuff in the green bag specifically.
