The True Value of Living Compost: Why Our Compost Is Worth It
Why does our living compost cost £12 for 5 litres when garden centre bags are so much cheaper? The answer is simple: our compost is alive. Made in Bristol from locally sourced food waste and woodchip, it’s packed with beneficial microbes, fungi, and nutrients that regenerate soil health and give your plants the best start. Every purchase also supports community composting, food education, and our two-acre food forest market garden.
