Compost and Soil Improvers

Our organic garden compost is made from green waste, recycled from gardens up and down the country. It provides plants with key nutrients and offers structural support, helping your garden flourish. 

Compost is a vital part of any healthy garden and an eco-friendly way to inject nutrients back into the ground, boosting plant growth and improving soil structure. Ultimately good growing comes from good soil!

Many of our composts have been approved by the Soil Association, ensuring you are getting the very best for your garden.

Compost and Soil Improvers

We pride ourselves on creating a range of high-quality organic composts that can be used for all kinds of garden projects, from replenishing small garden borders to supporting large-scale landscaping projects.

Our range of nutrient boosting organic composts includes mushroom compost, no dig compost, potting compost, and so much more.

Earth Cycle organic composts have been carefully created as soil additions to boost the nutrients in your soil. We always recommend that you add or mix them into the existing soil in your garden rather than use them for planting seeds or growing plants directly.

We offer compost delivery in our eco-friendly bulk bags, saving you trips to the garden centre and helping you easily manage your gardening projects – large or small!

All of our compost ranges are produced on site at our family run farm in the South Downs. We carefully screen and shred the green waste before moving it through a unique 14 week process to create a high quality, peat free organic compost with just the right balance of nutrients.

Ultimately good, healthy compost means strong healthy plants. We love helping people up and down the UK enjoy their outdoor spaces, and see their gardens thrive!

Our organic garden compost also meets PAS100 standards and is certified for use in organic systems by OF&G (Organic Farmers & Growers).

FAQs

Potting compost is an excellent general organic compost that is specifically formulated to provide plants with the nutrients and physical support they need to be able to grow well indoors.

This depends on your goal! If you want to improve the growth of your plants, enjoy more blossoms on your flowers, and provide your garden with additional nutrition, then you should use compost.

However, if you want to reduce weed development, manage run-off and keep soil moist, then it’s mulch that you need.

We recommend using enough compost to blend with the existing soil in your garden at approximately a 20-30% ratio. This will ensure there is enough compost for your plants to get all of the nutrients they need, whilst not being the only soil in the mix!

Remember, Earth Cycle organic composts are soil additions and have been created to mix with the soil already in your garden. For more information on how much compost you’ll need for a particular project, get in touch with our team on 01243 781730 – we’re happy to help! Alternatively, if you’re buying bulk compost for delivery, then why not use the help of our Bulk Bag Calculator for a quick and easy calculation.

Yes, it’s possible to add too much compost to your garden soil. This is because compost is full of nutrients, and adding too much can cause an imbalance in the nutrient levels in the soil.

Phosphorus and potassium can build up over time and become so dominant in the environment that they can block the absorption of other essential nutrients like calcium and magnesium. So carefully blending new, nutrient-rich compost with your existing soil ensures that whatever you’re growing is properly nourished.
