Cooncil compost

I wasn't sure where to put this one.

The contents of our brown wheely-bins are being chopped up and turned into compost somewhere.

All I ever put into my own brown wheely is stuff I can't easily compost myself - masses of tough hedge clippings and dandelion and dock roots. And when I consider the near uncompostable crap I bin, I wonder what sort of crap other people are binning........ And I wonder about the quality of the resulting compost.

Is the cooncil's compost available to us? What does it cost and is it any good?

Forth Resource Mgmt sell on the compost at reasonable prices.
We also got sleepers for raised beds from them.
They were mentioned on an episode of Beechgrove Garden.

Thanks for that. But is it good stuff?

heard it was a load of old rubbish..... :-)

Yes, it is really good. My father in law got us some for the garden and the wee ones vegetables came up great last year.

Chris,
