Title: Morrisons compost
Post by: caroline7758 on April 16, 2010, 16:43:58
1.75 for 40litres- half usual price. Anyone know whether it's any good?

Can't be any worse than J A Bowers (bits of wood, plastic and other non compost ingredients). I was so disgusted with it I went to B&Q and bought theirs which was much better. £3.50 for 80ltrs is a very good price buy a bag to check it out (I was in two minds today, whether to buy the pallet full).

Is that this years JAB Larkshall if so I'm glad I kept the receipt. I took some back last year but thought the problem had been sorted.

Yes, I bought 3 bags about 3 weeks ago. Of course, it could be old stock.

Got two bags- so much easier to handle in 40L bags than 60 or 70. It looks ok, quite fibrous but no huge lumps of wood etc. Should be ok as a mulit-purpose (not peat-free of course. :-[)
