Bristol Compost Delivery: Living Soil to Your Doorstep

Updated: Dec 26, 2025

At Generation Soil CIC, we’re transforming Bristol’s food waste into living compost and delivering it straight back to the city’s gardens, allotments, and growing spaces.


Our Bristol compost delivery service exists to do more than feed plants. It rebuilds soil biology, supports biodiversity, and helps create a truly circular food system where waste becomes fertility, locally. Generation Soil produces and sells living compost in Bristol, made from locally collected food waste and returned to growers across the city.


If you care about soil health, climate action, and growing nutrient-dense food, this is compost with purpose.

Why Choose Generation Soil’s Living Compost?


Most bagged compost is sterile, stripped of life, and designed for short-term plant growth.


Our compost is alive.


We compost local food waste with waste wood shavings and biochar, using a carefully balanced, biology-first process that maximises microbial diversity. The result is microbially active living compost, rich in beneficial bacteria and fungi that continue working once added to soil.


Unlike conventional compost, living compost:


  • Builds long-term soil fertility

  • Improves soil structure and water retention

  • Supports plant resilience to pests and disease

  • Reduces reliance on synthetic fertilisers



This is compost that works with natural systems, not against them.

How Our Bristol Compost Delivery Works


We’ve made it simple for growers across Bristol to access high-quality, locally produced compost.



1. Order Online


Choose the amount of compost you need, from small garden projects to larger growing spaces, via the Generation Soil store.



2. Sustainably Made in Bristol


Our compost is created using food waste collected through the Bristol Living Compost Project, combined with wood shavings and biochar to create a balanced carbon-rich mix.


This keeps nutrients local and food waste out of landfill.



3. Delivered to Your Door


We offer low-impact compost delivery across Bristol, bringing living soil directly to:


  • Gardens

  • Allotments

  • Community growing projects

  • Market gardens



Bulk orders for larger growing spaces are coming soon. If you manage a farm or market garden, get in touch via What Generation Soil Does.



Supporting a Circular Food Economy in Bristol


Choosing our compost means you’re participating in a closed-loop system.


Food waste collected from Bristol homes and businesses is transformed into compost and returned to the soil that grows the city’s food. This approach:


  • Reduces methane emissions from landfill

  • Restores soil biology

  • Replaces extractive fertiliser systems

  • Strengthens local food resilience



This is circular food in action. Learn more in What Is Circular Food? How Bristol Is Closing the Loop.



The Benefits of Using Locally Produced Compost


Using compost made in Bristol, for Bristol, has tangible benefits for both growers and the wider ecosystem.



Healthier Soil


Living compost improves aggregation, aeration, and moisture retention, reducing the need for irrigation and chemical inputs.



Increased Biodiversity


Microbes, fungi, worms, and insects thrive in biologically active soil, strengthening the entire food web.



Carbon Sequestration


Returning organic matter to soil helps lock carbon underground, supporting climate mitigation.



Less Waste, More Growth


Food waste becomes fertility, not pollution. Nutrients stay in the system instead of being lost forever.

Composting for Bristol’s Future


Bristol has long been a leader in environmental action. Regenerating soil is the next step.


From urban gardens to community allotments, living compost helps rebuild the foundations of local food systems. By choosing Generation Soil’s compost delivery, you’re supporting:


  • Community-scale composting

  • Soil regeneration

  • Food system resilience

  • Local climate action



This is not just compost. It’s infrastructure for a regenerative city.
