Landscaping tips
Recycled compost is playing an evermore increasing role in landscaping projects due to its versatile range of uses, and increasingly end users are starting to specify the use of peat free recycled products.
All our compost and soil products contain recycled compost.
The most popular product is the Lincolnshire Organic Garden Compost (100% recycled compost) because of its versatility and range of uses. All our compost is produced to PAS100.
