    I found the quality to be average, on par with lidl, Wickes etc and not much plastic or rubbish in it.

    What I had a problem with was the quantity. I thought the bags were a bit light so I measured the volume of 6 bags, you'll be getting around 25L, not the listed 50L (at filing). If you look at the reviews you'll eventually get to mine with some pictures.

    Yeh I opened some bags today and the quality was way better than I was expecting given the reviews. As above, it looks similar to some of the other cheap compost. Very black so likely devoid of life (pile too hot). Texture decent enough. I've mixed mine in with some home made stuff which will hopefully inoculate this stuff with soil life.

    I'd agree on the volume issue but I've never actually measured any other bags before so I'm not sure if this is an issue with compost in general with it being hard to measure as it continues to break down within the bag and changes volume and weight depending on how wet/dry it is. One bag filled a 30l bucket to the brim for me. That was it quite wet though so It would probs seem more if drier and fluffier.

    How does it compare to Westland new horizon all plant compost? It’s on offer in Costco for about £14 for 3 x 60L at them moment

    This is awful stuff, I get through alot of compost on my allotment and in the garden and I'm always looking for cheaper stuff, tried this but will never ever use again, full of plastic and the compost itself it's not good quality, spend a few more extra ££s in this case is most definitely worth it.

    what would you say are good brands to use that don't cost a fortune (for amateurs who just want to get some grass back and for planting some pot flowers)

    Echoing the sentiments of all above, smells, poor quality and full of plastic

    Generally the peat is replaced with coir, which gives the resulting compost the water retention qualities of wire wool.

    I purchased 10 bags of this. It does not appear to be good quality at all. It more like a cheap top soil with lumps of clay in it. I wouldn't take it if it was free.

    I cannot get free delivery, only click and collect, and my car is not big enough to carry 10 bags, a shame as its a good deal for a soil filler.

    It was click and collect, not free delivery. The Hombase website just displays click and collect as "free delivery" on the order page for some reason. (edited)

    Whilst we're on the subject of gardening, does anyone know which grass seed is best to buy please? My garden gets quite water-logged over the winter, and I have a dog that insists on charging around my garden all year round, which, in winter, means parts of my lawn are now simply a muddy swamp! Looking to put some seed down over the next couple of weeks or so as the weather starts to get warmer, more sun and hopefully some light rain, so just wondered what's best? Is it all much of a muchness!?

    Save yourself hassle and buy turf rolls to patch up. It will be instant result as well as cost effective. I have tried lot of seeds but they never fill up the gaps. I would love to hear from someone who has more gardening knowledge though.

    Terrible stuff. Spend some money and buy some decent compost.

    Unfortunately "good" compost costs a fortune these days. It also varies year to year and even the so called best brands aren't immune from bad batches.

    I think this can be used fine in certain use cases like bottom of pots, cutting with other compost, improving soil, top dressing borders with non fussy plants. Save your good stuff for seeding, potting and high value/importance crops and flowers.

    On the other hand I bought their topsoil and found that okay, but will steer clear of this.

    Bags are half empty compared to other similar 50L bags, also full of crap, bark and other bits of unwanted junk…..don’t you think? 😁 (edited)
