HI

can any of you good folk help me out here.

I'm looking for a supplier of bulk bags of compost. I reckon i'll need about 7 tonnes of stuff and i need them to deliver it (though I guess I could maybe collect it - 1 bag at a time)

i'm based in just outside linlitghow - so something in west lothian/falkirk would be grand

I had got them from Edinburgh council in the past, but can't find the link for that anymore

thanks

I don't know if they deliver outside the Stirling area, but this is from the Stirling Council website:

be careful with it tho, ive had council compost before and it looked great in the yard but when i put it down as a mulch and it got rained on it turned a horrible colour grey and wasnt nice at all, i would reccomned going and properly checking it before you commit to buying a load, id check it wet as well, and test for ph.

we use the free coucil compost all the time, yes it can be a bit variable, but mostly it has been great!

our garden had had several mature trees and roots taken from it before we got here, and it was oh my goodness a mess! but almost 4yrs down the line it looks like a garden, holes all filled in using recycled compost. we just go about one a month and collect a load.

we're off there today as it happens!

grrrrr

neither falkirk or west lothian councils appear to supply/deliver the bulk bags

Spoke to Forth management who do it for edinburgh council, i can get a 600kg bag for £30 + £15 delivery (their number is 0131 339 5554 if anyone wants it)

I've used teh edinburgh stuff before and it was top quality stuff - so can recommend it

Haven't been onto stirling yet - but will give them a call

thanks

I just called them - that information seems to be out of date.

i can help myself to stuff, but they don't supply bulk bags
