The Melcourt All Purpose Compost Bulk Bag is a high-quality, 100% peat-free compost designed for a wide range of planting and growing jobs around the garden. Made by Melcourt, one of the UK's leading names in peat-free growing media, it gives gardeners, landscapers and allotment holders a sustainable alternative to peat without compromising on performance.
Blended from conifer bark, wood fibre, coir and green compost, this fine, free-flowing compost is dark brown, consistent in texture and easy to handle.
