My local Morrisons are selling off their summer garden stuff - including the boxes of coir that I bought so many of last year! At the moment they're £2.50, just been reduced from £4, Not sure what the original price was. They have other bits and pieces too - gloves, hand tools, labels, planters.......

Never tried it before but, on your recommendation, I went and bought 6 boxes @ £2.50. I'll try using comfrey water when using it for fertilizer.

Just been to my nearest Morrisons. They didn't have any coir, but arguably something better: 3 types of peat-free compost massively reduced. Surprised it's not been posted to HotUKDeals yet!

All bags 40 L, a few pallets of each available.

New Horizon £2.50
Levington £2.50
Miracle Gro £3

Absolute bargain!

Which of those 3 composts is the best one to buy? In case I should happen to be over there soon.

I hadn't tried Miracle Gro before so that's what I got, also because a Youtuber did a test of different composts and that was the best performing peat free and compared well to peat compost. It's fibrous of course, but nice and fluffy and I've not seen any plastic in it yet. It also has those slow release fertiliser balls in.

The Levingtons I have used before and would use again if not for the bits of plastic from the green waste.

New Horizon is a bit hit and miss but I've used it with OK results. Very fibrous and a bit weird looking and definitely needs extra fertiliser. Doesn't contain any green waste.

My preference would be Miracle Gro -> Levingtons -> New Horizon.

Here's the Youtube video which compares composts - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udiPqYVrezs The Levingtons came last.

Here's what the Miracle Gro looks like.

Thanks, TMTT.. The Miracle Gro looks like "fluffy stuff" that I find a bit odd to handle. As if its been whipped up to make more volume. I'll watch the video now.

EDIT - Video watched. His trial definitely points to Miracle-Gro. Interesting.

Back near Morrisons yesterday for the Nantwich farmers market and picked up a couple of bags of miracle grow compost. Might mix with the coir.

Suttons have free delivery on everything until midnight 10th September. I've ordered some seeds at the grand total of £1.89, they're not going to get rich on my orders
