Generally we say that they are mad to want to buy in compost when you can make your own at home! Of course thats half the point with home composting, so you can save having to buy other peoples stuff! However some people really want to buy some in and its good to support the sustainable composting industry and avoid peat based composts which harm the environment.
The problem is that most of the compost produced from the garden waste in Shropshire is im afraid to tell you not available to the public because the farmers who run the composting sites use all of the outputs on their land as a soil improver.
However the Vital Earth site which processes the mixed food and garden waste from North Shropshire district is the exception to this rule. They do operate a large (national) retail arm which supplies bagged compost to garden centres across the UK which is sold branded as Vital Earth. You can find your nearest site via their website here www.thegreenergardener.com
