I cannot praise enough the skill of the driver to negotiate his big wagon through a couple of narrow and offset gateways with millimetres to spare and then to hoist the bag over a high wall into the required position. Brilliant.

Bought two big bags of mushroom compost July 2018. Was extremely good quality (like Chrismas pudding) and a very good price. Lady I spoke to on the phone was very pleasant.
