What is Organic Compost?
It’s organic waste that’s decomposed and recycled as manure for soil amendment. Commonly used in organic farming. It’s one of the simplest and cheapest form of manure for forming quality soil.
Organic compost is wet organic matter aka organic green waste (leaves and food wastes) that are decomposed and broken down for several weeks.
Organic Compost Benefits
Organic compost contains vital plant nutrients including macro and micro-nutrients, such as carbon and nitrogen (absent in synthetic fertilizers). Nutrients are released slowly into the soil, retaining soil fertility.
Our organic compost neutralizes soil acidity and alkalinity, bringing pH levels in soil under control, ensuring a proper mixture of nutrients are available for plants and your garden.
Organic Compost Uses
To begin with, organic compost is used for mulching. It provides a protective layer for the roots of a plant. These suppress weed growth in a garden and reduce moisture loss.
Organic Compost is vital in soil amendment before planting anything in your garden. It’s easier to add organic compost before planting rather than after.

Workout Exactly What You Need
Use the calculator below to work out how many bulk bags of topsoil you will need for your project.
Simply enter the length and width of your area, followed by the depth you would like your topsoil to be and we’ll take care of the complex maths!
Our calculator works out exactly how many bags of topsoil you need. Unlike other companies, we won’t round up how many bags you need.
We want to leave it upto our customers to decide whether they want topsoil left over or if they want to have slightly less depth.
For example, if your chosen project requires 10.4 bags of topsoil, you would need to purchase 11 bags and have 0.6m³ left over, or you could choose to have slightly less depth and opt for 10 bags.
We leave that decision to you.
As we have described above, if you have entered your details and the number of bags isn’t whole i.e 9.1 bags or 7.6 bags, please remember that to complete the job to your desired dimensions, you will need to round the number of bags up, so 9.1 bags becomes 10 bags and 7.6 bags becomes 8 bags etc. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call us on: 0121 474 3506 or contact us here.
