Thanks everyone for the replies,it’s free delivery so I think I will buy one dumpy bag in the autumn to see what it’s like..
I got given 1500 litres of spent compost last Feb (it had been in unused polytunnel beds for three years without water)I spread it on two 15×1.8m beds and covered with membrane,then grew pumpkins/courgette squashes.They all grew fantastically.Took the membrane off in October and planted one bed with overwintered onions/garlic,all growing really well, under snow at the minute though.The most important point though,is that there are absolutely no weeds at all.Whereas in my own compost,Im having to swish the rake over cos I’m seeing thousands of seedlings even in Feb..I’m now “No dig and proud” lol.
