The best compost you can buy in 2023

You may see composts formulated for veg growing. These are very similar to multipurpose composts, but may have a slightly different balance of nutrients. Some are excellent, some are less good. Look at our grow bags results. Green compost adds minerals and organic matter to the mix, together with useful nutrients derived from recycled vegetation Old compost is often on sale - we send secret shoppers to buy our composts, who tell us if they find old compost on sale. It's a very common problem. We also know from our testing that old compost doesn't perform as well as fresh compost. To avoid this, buy bags that look new and aren't faded or heavy, which suggests they have been sitting around in bright sunshine for too long, or have been rained on regularly.

Growing bags don't compare - these used to be filled with peat and were cheap, making them an excellent alternative. However, they are now mostly peat-reduced or peat-free and have fertilisers meant for growing veg.Green compost adds minerals and organic matter to the mix, together with useful nutrients derived from recycled vegetation. Levington Peat Free Multi Purpose Compost with added John Innes contains a balanced combination of nutrients that will feed your plants for up to 6 weeks.
