I'm going to be getting some no-dig beds set up in the next month or so and will need a humungous amount of compost to fill them. I've found a couple of organisations not too far away that are the recycling facilities for council green waste (one does for Bournemouth and other councils, the other does various others in the south west). I haven't had a quote from them yet, but I wondered if anyone had actually used any of this green waste compost and had any opinions on it.
Up here you have to go and collect it, they call it soil improver and to be honest it was pretty good for putting in my raised beds, cannot be used on it's own though.
We had some a few years ago for our allotments. 1st load was OK. A year later the load we had was full of very small branches that hadn't been recycled properly. Never had any more.
