Could anyone recommend a proper quality compost available to buy in preferably bulk bag size that comes somewhere near to the quality of real, proper homemade stuff? Currently I don't produce anywhere near enough for our requirements and I find the usual bagged compost from garden centres pretty useless particularly for soil improvement.

Humax.

Humax is peat-based, and I do not use peat products. For a soil improver, I would go for Dalefoot Double Strength. It is too strong to use neat in pots: They have other products for seeds, potting, etc. I got a good deal, believe it or not, from a Sarah Raven a few pennies cheaper and I had a free shipping voucher. When I ran out and just needed something for pots, I used some New Horizon peat free - cheaper, not as good quality but the only decent one available at GC.

Does your local tip (recycling centre) sell bags of soil improver?

Hi Helen,
This company is local to you and you could give them a ring:-https://www.logsdirect.co.uk/
They do bulk bags for £95-00
