Transform your soil with Generation Soil Living Compost, handcrafted in Bristol from rescued food waste and woodchip. Each batch is 100% peat-free, chemical-free, and rich with beneficial microbes that build soil health naturally.
How to use
Spread 1–2 cm of living compost as a top-dress around beds and perennials, or blend 20–30% into potting mixes. Water in to wake up the microbes. For seedlings, mix lightly with loam/coir. For tired beds, apply a thicker 3–5 cm layer and keep mulched.
What you’ll notice
Better moisture holding, darker crumbly texture, stronger root growth, and steadier nutrition without synthetic feeds. Over weeks, soil structure loosens, worms return, and plants hold water through dry spells.
Using our unique three-stage process , fermentation, in-vessel composting, and maturation, we create a living soil teeming with bacteria, fungi, and worms that feed your plants and regenerate the earth.
Perfect for gardens, allotments, and raised beds. Use as a mulch, soil improver, or compost tea base. Every purchase supports our community composting projects and helps regenerate Bristol’s soils.
Healthy soil. Healthy planet. Healthy people.
Reviews
My first bag of living compost. Lovely stuff, though I think I need more instructions about how to apply it. My soil needs A&E.
This stuff is so much better than anything I’ve bought in a garden centre and the plants love it!!
My plants absolutely love this soil and it's done wonders helping to bring some completely dead borders back to life. Highly recommend Generation Soil!
Alex’s living compost has given my garden a new lease of life!
The smell of it is so natural and pure and so much better than the commercial variety!
Such rich and vital compost full of life. My plants love it and grow stronger and more healthy because of it
