    The sticks and other solids are good for drainage, you need to sieve it for potting but you can put the big bits in the bottom of the pot instead of crocks and it will be broken down by end of season.

    Agreed. You only really need a fine growing medium when sowing seeds, after the seedling stage most plants will happily grow in a rougher compost.

    Most of the Wilcos I know are in shopping centres no where near a car park. Good luck carrying 3 bags of compost out of there.
    All the Councilors putting in bike lanes and restrict cars from town Centers and expecting everyone to use a bus or a bike should be made to buy 3 bags of compost from Wilco and take to a point 5 miles out that has no bus stop route or train station! 😃

    Pannier rack and some bungees! There's a car park by my local wilkos and I have a van, but I was thinking to cycle if I get this.

    Just picked up 3 bags from my local store, thanks OP.

    Stack at the end of the gardening aisle simply had a £5 price label, but got reduced to £9 when I went through the checkout.

    There was a split open bag, with some compost spilt out, it looked ok. I guess all compost now is going to include a sizeable proportion of composted garden waste. This will lead to variable quality, depending on content and how well it's been composted.

    Sorry meant to say, although I haven't bought any compost as yet this year, I have always had really excellent results with Jacks Magic. I have no idea how much it is going to be when it arrives in the shops/garden centres but it's worth the extra cost.

    Just collected mine, contains 40% peat, so not full of all the usual rubbish in peat-free, perhaps the last chance to buy compost containing peat before it is banned next year. Not the compost for you if you're environmentally conscious.

    What is the quality like? I bought Wickes compost last year and there was big sticks, bits of plastic and all sorts in it. Awful stuff

    Personally I found the quality of compost has changed in the last few years.
    Even my usual favs which are normally soft and fluffy have had some chunks of unbroken matter in them, especially the bags I got last year.

    I've had this compost from Wilko before and it was ok. Average quality with a few twigs and bits in it. Didn't have any issues with finding plastic in it but that was a few years ago and quality control seems to have dropped recently across most brands.

    Edit - I would still buy Wilko compost over Lidl, Aldi or other supermarket compost. (edited)

    This is awful stuff too.

    However, now all compost is peat-free I'm sure we've seen the last of good compost.

    Bought two bags last year and was awful quality. Not sure if you can even call it compost. Will never purchase again.

    What do you usually buy?
    I think most of the compost last year were bad due to lockdown conditions in the previous years.

    Wilko also sell Miracle grow compost 50l for £4.50
