Hi there!

An elderly friend of mine who lives in SE11 near to the Waterloo area has been searching for potting compost far and wide but to no avail. Anyone know of any shops/ outlets where she might some, please?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks ☺

you can buy stuff that is recycled from veg/food waste at the council recycling depot off Walworth Road - �5 for a big bag if I recall

B&Q on the Old Kent Road. Their multi purpose compost is usually cheaper and it came out tops in recent surveys. I use it all the time.

There always the garden center in East Dulwich (http://www.dulwichgardencentre.co.uk/), although it can be more expensive than B&Q.

Please make sure it is 'Peat free' the companies that extract it were given licenses when it was extracted by hand in sites of Special scientific interest - now they dig it on an industrial scale, ruining the habitat of loads of threatened species including butterflies & birds.

And, at this time of year, it's not unusual to find it at petrol stations.

...if you press it, they will come.
