Title: Should peat free compost be all big bits of wood and stones?
Post by: Gattopardo on 09 July, 2017, 03:57:30 pm

Have got a bag of 125l of compost and seems to be all fiberous with stones is that right?

I would have thought not. I occasionally finds stones in the stuff I use, but not very often.
The texture varies greatly between brands; some are very fibrous, some finer.

REcent years the difference between decent and crap compost has widened, doesn't mean it won't work.
