What is the best compost to buy? This is a question that we are commonly asked all the time by various trade and domestic customers. And it’s one that should be carefully considered. Choosing the best compost to buy is a pivotal decision but will ultimately depend on the variable factors that include the scale of the landscape/project and what you’re looking to achieve.
<strong>Firstly let’s get into why you need compost in the first place…</strong>
For flowers, plants and vegetables to grow healthily and consistently, good quality soil is paramount. The problem with natural soil is that it can be unreliable for growth and be unevenly spread even within the same gardening area. It’s a fact that few gardeners are lucky to have the perfect soil but with the help of high-quality compost, it can drastically help to create the right condition that allows your plants, vegetables and flowers to grow and ensure optimum results.
There are a few different types of compost to consider for your garden. Baldwin’s Landscape Supplies provide two main types of compost;-
PAS100 Compost – This is a high-quality certified type of compost that we are proud to supply and deliver. PAS100 Compost is generally used for soil preparation for garden and turf establishment. If you’re looking for a type of compost that aids as a natural fertiliser to enhance plant growth and suppress weeds, this type of compost should be high on the agenda. PAS100 Compost is manufactured under control monitored conditions.
Mushroom Compost – This type of compost is nutrient-filled blends of straw, peat, gypsum, and other organic products. Mushroom compost is more of a natural type of compost that is proven to drastically improve soil texture and drainage. Mushroom compost can be used as a mulch or worked into your garden beds as a soil amendment.
Other Types Of Compost To Consider
Peat-Free Compost – This type of compost doesn’t consist of vegetation. Instead, peat-based compost consists of composted bark, wood fibre, and green compost. Peat-based compost is fundamentally used for growing a wide variety of plants and is perfect for giving gardens – that need it – a kick-start!
Organic Compost – This type of compost consists of expanded wood fibres and a mixture of other materials including peat. Organic compost is another particularly favourite for small to medium-sized gardens and projects and is proven to improve soil structure. Furthermore, organic compost also help to soil to retain sufficient nutrients, air, and water.
Multi-Purpose Compost – If you’re looking for a high-quality type of compost specifically in various parts of your garden such as beds, borders, and hanging baskets, multi-purpose compost should be considered. Multi-purpose compost consists of a different blend and mixture of ingredients.
