Is this compost any good to part fill new beds?

[Rebecca]

I thought I had enough compost and manure to fill our new allotment no dig beds but I haven’t so have to get some in.

I found this pro-grow stuff which is soil association certified organic.

is this suitable?

thanks

Yes Rebecca this will work.
Another option is mushroom compost eg CPA Horticulture, though it’s not organic.

I also found this mushroom compost which seems cheaper so might give this a go instead.

Thanks for suggesting it.

Looks good just be aware those bags are just 0.72m3, less than a half tonne, and will cover 12m of bed 1.2m width, 5cm deep.
