Compost questions

Where can I buy compost in Bradford?

ACW Garden Centre on Canal Road, Bradford BD2 1AL stocks peat-free multi-purpose compost, John Innes and ericaceous compost, growbags, top soil, decorative bark, farmyard manure and soil improver.

Do you sell peat-free compost?

Yes. We stock Westland peat-free multi-purpose compost alongside our other composts, bark and soil improvers.

What is ericaceous compost for?

Ericaceous compost is lime-free and acidic. Use it for acid-loving plants such as rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, pieris, heathers, skimmias and blueberries, especially when growing them in pots.

How much bark do I need?

For weed control, spread bark about 5 to 7cm deep. A 70 litre bag covers roughly 1 to 1.4 square metres at that depth. Measure your border and our team will help you work out how many bags you need.

When should I dig in manure?

Autumn and early spring are the best times. Dig farmyard manure or soil improver into veg beds and borders, or spread it on top as a mulch around roses and shrubs.

Can I buy compost online?
