too lumpy containing many stones and twigs. Also seemed to be very wet when we opened it. Disappointing.

I have used this product previous years. This time I felt that the compost was of a very poor quality. It was very course, it didnt crumble nicely but was almost like chopped straw. Sorry but it was awful and the plants did not seem to like it very much as nothing has flourished in it .

Very 'sticky' compost with a lot of fibrous stuff.. OK for big plants or pots wouldn't recommend for anything 'special'. Might be improved with added slow release feed granules.

I opened the bag expecting to find the same product which I have been buying for years and found what I can only describe as a dry strawey mess.
I have used it and await results
