    Referring to earlier in thread: Jacks Magic now do a Peat free compost, I bought some today on GC recommendation, plus I always liked their non Peat free.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    I don't know if anyone else has noticed but at my local garden centre claimed they have far more spoiled bags because people are ripping holes in them to see what is inside.

    I can understand why people might want to do that. I wouldn't do it myself but if there's already a split/open bag I take the opportunity to have a look.
    Perhaps they should have one open bag of each type of compost so people can see what they're buying. Or it could be sold in transparent bags (like gravel etc is) or bags with a transparent section.
    My local small, family run garden centre in south Norfolk often has opened bags of compost so that you can see what it's like.
