Where to get green waste compost?

Hi All,

I have phoned Southwark Council (Environment) as to whether they sell green/municipal waste compost
and they don't.

The compost is to be used as a backfill for the sizeable amount of removed building rubbles.

I was wondering whether any users on here can point me in the right direction in obtaining sizeable
amount of green waste (my homemade compost is not
enough).

Many thanks,

How about St James stables...free manure...take your own bags and shovel...

Go to the Southwark Council depot at Manor Place,(use the entrance just past the Bhuddist centre). They have bags of green waste compost there.

In relation to Jan the old one's reply, the horse manure in this case would not be the most appropriate
one to use since in effect the area would become too
acidic. As to Paulse1's suggestion - many thanks- and I would give the place a try.

That's really interesting, Paul. Thanks for sharing it. Do you know whether there's a charge for the compost, by any chance?

I had an idea once about collecting peoples garden, and compostable waste, and then turning it into compost and selling it either back to local residents, or selling it on ebay.

I really wish you'd do that, JonR! One of my first posts here last summer was asking if there were a place in SE1 where I could "contribute" kitchen waste.

How about a wormery, Laphroaig?

There's a wormery on offer on freecycle at the moment so you could even get one free if you are quick.
