A question about : Which compost is good this year?

Has anyone used Ambassador?

Considering the multipurpose compost but can't find any reviews! title=Smile

Best answers:

  • Good question. Need to buy in bulk so any advice appreciated!
    VERVE was ok last year IMO
  • IMHO, no ready made compost suits all situations. I expect to do some tweaking, rather like I tweak ready meals.
    I've used the B&Q product for as long as I can remember. It's always keenly priced and usually OK. "Which" think so too.
    To that, I add appropriate amounts of sharp sand, Cornish grit, Osmacote, manure etc, depending on what I'm doing with it.
  • I used Verve last year, good price but it wasn't a good product, lumps and sticks everywhere. This year i bought Murphy's in bulk on a 3 for 2 from creative garden ideas. Good price, good product and delivered to.
  • I'm going to buy a 125l Verve on lunch today and use it this weekend. Will feedback how I get on!
  • Picked up this today in the end. Worth a go at 4 for Ј10 for organic peat free compost.
  • I emptied my compost wooden bin, only gets done once a year.
    I removed the top 6 inches ( starts the next batch)
    Got 9 wheel barrow loads, very happy.
  • Vital earth got a bad press a few years back but it was the Mail. Looking closer the Derby Telegraph has a report about the company too from 2012. Let us know how you get on with it as it seems like good value at that price?
  • Been using Humax for years, tried others but most have difficulties wetting later on
