Well it's a 1st time using it for me and even seeing it to buy Cammomile.

Your welcome Lijemc.

I have just used it to pot up fuchsia cuttings.

Just googled it - it was launched last autumn. I'm surprised it's not being advertised to death. eBay price is £11.99 plus £8 p&p so you got it at a good price - local nursery or national chain?
I'm on my last bag of Arthur Bowyers - been very disappointed with it this year as full of coarse woody material.

A local nursery well about 40 minutes drive from home so yes local.

Urbanite, I note your comments Re Arthur Bowers, how awful is it!!! I bought a bag and ended up digging 3/4 of it into one of the borders. It wasn't cheap either!

Angie so much so I complained to the top .

They did seen some vouchers but not really a apology .

Vouchers helped but every compost it rued was absolute rubbish .

It's taken a few yrs untill yesterday finding excellent compost.

Last yr I even tried 1 bag of Horizon from B&M bargains even had it.

It was good but when I went back and bought more it was rubbish

I'm glad you finally found one you like.
These kind of companies don't usually apologise Kath - the fact that you got vouchers, is in their eyes enough of an apology.
I don't use too much so it's not usually an issue. I've had better results by mixing some soil improver with some John Innes No3. Probably not quite the right thing to do but it seems to work good enough for me.

From my usually very reputable Chepstow Garden Centre, last year I bought Violet Farm Compost. The worst load of rubbish I have ever had. It was like the dust sweeping ups from the floors. It went into the back of the borders. Never again.
