Peat Free Compost 2023

Two sorts of compost that I suspect none of us will be buying …….. (!!)
Climate Compost Inoculum at £20 for a 1.5kg bag. The compost, abundant in naturally occurring soil microbes, comes from their gardens and the Althorp estate, where Diana, Princess of Wales grew up, in west Northamptonshire. Although the price tag is high, at least this mode for manure comes from a good place, so to speak. It is more about its environmental credentials than its designer ones.

Climate Compost Inoculum is a laugh. They say a pinch of it will transform your soil, and they measure their bulk bags in pinches (18,000 large pinches, if you're curious). You can see some photos of their composting process here - https://www.thelandgardeners.com/on-farm-composting . It just looks like composted manure with some extra greens (cover crop clippings?) added. They're selling a hori hori for £64, Sarah Raven sells the same one for £39.95. Their garden tools are made of bronze...

...and I'm surprised they haven't mentioned that the estate they produce the compost on is where Princess Diana grew up.
