Thanks for your comments. I live in Stafford, and we have a brown wheely bin where all garden wastes goes. I was given a contact by a fellow allotmenteer of a farmer who buys this garden waste and turns it into a lovelly weed free, very dark brown compost. He delivers it for £12+vat per tonne, minimum order of 7 tonnes by tractor and trailor. My delivery was nearly 9 tonnes, mostly due to the recent rain, and only asked of £100.
I have got 4 long beds (9,10,11,12 metres long) by 1.2m. I have started spreading 9 tonnes of compost very thickly, possibly 6-8inches in the middle. I haven’t seen anyone since, tongues will start wagging, I look forward to it.
