Topic: JA Bowers compost!!!!!!!!!!

[grannyjanny]

A while ago I bought a bag of JA Bowers MP compost. I opened it today & the first scoop brought up a stone, a piece of paper, several chunks of wood & a piece of glass. I took it back to the GC & to add insult to injury they only gave me back £3.99 even though I paid £4.99. I was over charged & as I hadn't got the receipt that was all they were prepared to give me. I am sure there is a thread about problems with compost & glass in it but I couldn't find it.

We also found rubbish and glass in ours. I got in touch Bowers and they was very helpful. Have sent them a sample and they sent us a voucher. Took the rest of our bags to the gc and got a full refund as we had the receipt.

That's one of the brands I avoid too.

Strange, this. For over 30 years, since visiting them, I have regarded their products as a hallmark.

Even Which seems to like them.

Best Buy J Arthur Bower’s  Multi-Purpose Compost (6p per litre) received top marks in the peat-based multi-purpose compost category, for raising seedlings and growing on young plants.  With less need for watering than the other peat-based compost, this was a clear all-round winner.

Yes - you can get glass in a can of Beans!
