Don't Ever Buy Compost From the Street

When you're new to gardening and want to feed your beds and lawn with some compost, it's easy to fall prey to the "Bakkie Suppliers". They go door-to-door selling compost at a good price. Weeks later your lawn is covered in weeds and the lawn looks worse of than before.

Not far from my home, their are hawkers selling bags of compost and plants. If you decide to take a chance with hawkers, avoid "Kraalmis", because it usually contains weed seeds.

The fact is, you don't know what you get. I recommend going to the Big Boys with a proven track record. They sell a variety of products to suit your needs.

For years I only believed in Eco-Gro. Their product was phenomenal and you could hear the plants grow. Unfortunately, they were closed down due to some safety issues and I had to look elsewhere.

Luckily, there are other great suppliers, who's products are safe and clean. Here's my list:

  1. Reliance Compost 100% Certified Organic Compost

    2. Agri OrganicsMother Nature's Farming Friend.
    3. Stanler FarmsWhen the compost hits the fan, it's the quality of the product that counts.
