Struggling to find any compost for delivery and could do with a couple of 125l bags. Anyone had any luck recently?

It’s pretty much impossible. Marshall’s seem to have some but their delivery times are reduced.

isabellerossignol · 27/03/2020 07:39

Business sellers on Ebay?

Outedsochanged · 27/03/2020 07:41

I didn't ages looking a couple of days ago and all I could find was Marshalls, but order confirmation came through with delivery 6th April +/- 14 days

Call your local garden centres some are taking phone orders for delivery as they don't have online platforms.

Bluebellbike · 27/03/2020 07:55

Most of the larger supermarkets round here sell it, especially Asda and Aldi.

I ordered some from Wickes for delivery Monday

coconuttelegraph · 27/03/2020 07:58

A couple of small nurseries near me are offering local deliveries, have you tried any near you?

B&Q had loads last week, I think they are still open, is there one near you?

ADreamOfGood · 27/03/2020 07:59

Our big Sainsbury's had it yesterday

Littlebelina · 27/03/2020 08:02

We got some delivered from Wickes yesterday but had ordered before lockdown. Looks like they have limited stock at moment

LesLavandes · 27/03/2020 08:09

Amazon?

Feelingfestivenow · 27/03/2020 08:20

Our local garden centres are all closed now but they are doing delivery's, any near you?

I was lucky got some a couple of weeks ago to top up, as I have loads of compost bins so they are all empty and on the beds, will start and fill them up again soon.

Also noticed Tesco had some last week, prob put the price up by now like everything else

I ordered some from Thompson and Morgan last Saturday, along with some plants and seeds, nothing has arrived yet.

RHTawneyonabus · 27/03/2020 08:49

Are Aldi still doing special buys? Worth looking out for their garden dates.

leli · 27/03/2020 09:40

If you are near anywhere rural google "compost near me [town name]. I did this and a local supplier popped up that I'd never heard of. Ordered my compost and it's (hopefully!) being delivered next week.

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 27/03/2020 10:37

Lidl? The Range?

Didiusfalco · 27/03/2020 10:54

I would ring round some small local businesses. I placed an order with one near me on Wednesday and they delivered on Thursday.

BlueCowWonders · 27/03/2020 11:23

Round here all the independent nurseries have started a delivery-only service. V low-tech - phone up and they come round the next day.

changedtempforprivacy · 27/03/2020 12:21

Yes, I ordered from a local nursery and they delivered the next day, if you can't get through leave a voicemail and see if they can ring you back?

willowpatterns · 27/03/2020 14:48

I bought some from Lidl yesterday.

I0NA · 27/03/2020 14:49

Yes Lidl have smaller bags in store now.

RandomWok · 27/03/2020 14:51

I ordered 100l from Amazon.

CoolcoolcoolcoolcoolNoDoubt · 27/03/2020 14:57

I’ve ordered from Homebase, hasn’t come yet but they were still decent price wise.

Pinkywoo · 27/03/2020 18:53

B&Q are still open and delivery is £5 or free over £50.

livingthegoodlife · 27/03/2020 20:58

I tried to order from b&q but minimum delivery of £100 for heavy stuff like compost.

I've settled for ordering a few grow bags by the end of April from an online garden centre.

I'm trying not to go out.

ednatheevilwitch · 27/03/2020 21:08

My local garden centre have no website but lots of stock. I rang them (very low tech) answered by confused till operator and have compost being delivered tomorrow.
