Bulk buy compost / trough

[Mirinjawbro]

Hello all

Can anyone recommend a place to bulk buy compost / planter soil

Need a good few tonnes as many planters and new troughs are ready

Pe12 area if it matters

Thankyou

You'd have to google for your local area, as delivery will be a big chunk of the cost.

Topsoil can be from various small haulage firms who take it away from building sites and deliver it to landscapers, gardeners et.

Mushroom growers sell compost in bulk, as do places that take green waste from council collections.

Some firms specialise in tonne-bag deliveries of anything from rocks to firewood to horsest.
Try googling local 'hiab delivery'.

Depends on your budget of course. I've bought from Field Compost before, it's very good quality and they have many different soils, composts and soil improvers, but not cheap.

Or, you can often buy bulk bags of soil from builders merchants.

I've used Quality Garden Supplies (https://www.qualitygardensupplies.co.uk/) a few times for hippo bags of mushroom compost and top soil. Decent quality. I will be using them again shortly.

In addition to the suggestions already there might be some local stables to you that want to give away well rotted horse manure.
Often referred to as gardeners gold apparently.
If you were nearby I'd offer you rock up with a car and trailer and quite literally fill your boots !

I've found mushroom compost on Facebook marketplace before and it was very cheap considering it is essentially a waste product for them.

I last got it a few years ago but it was circa £100 for a full transit tipper load which was still steaming on arrival
