Fougasse   10 #1 Posted August 22, 2006 Hi  I need some compost for my garden - in the Shirecliffe area - and I'm really struggling to find any.  I need about a ton or so (maybe more or less depending on the price etc). It's for general gardening just to improve/feed the soil.  I've tried yellow pages etc, but not had any luck so far.  Can anyone help?  (Please, no humourous comments, such as try the council, etc - I've had them all before. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Strix   11 #2 Posted August 25, 2006 I was hoping to find that all the stuff we're putting in our green bins was available under a recycling scheme - like it is in Peterborough - but it's not  I've googled it, and the most promising link is probably: http://www.trommel.co.uk/  They make the industrial equipment that makes compost, so you could ask them who they've supplied to nearby   Or you could order over t'internet: http://www.turfandstuff.com/section.php?xSec=32&jssCart=e40c679a174e6a264708e4d8bc64066b Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Don_Kiddick   11 #3 Posted August 28, 2006 It might be worth a phonecall to Rotherham Council on 01709 382121 to see if they sell bulk compost from their kerbside collection scheme Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

andco   10 #5 Posted June 4, 2009 I usually have a load of vegetable waste which I'd be willing to keep for anyone to collect on a weekly basis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Lucy-Lastic   10 #6 Posted June 4, 2009 What about the Green estates compost - based on the Manor? Someone did a post about their compost the other day and said it was about £35 a tonne I seem to remember (I think that is made from Sheffield green waste). Wish I knew about it when I was filling the raised beds as I spent loads more on compost than that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
