I've not had glass in compost, but have had plenty of other rubbish including lumps of wood. I don't mean twiggy bits but more like pieces of an old fence.
Why is compost more adulterated now? Obviously, the producers are cutting corners but was there a sifting stage or are they just sourcing inferior ingredients?
They are using compost made from the green waste bins from the council. It is then down to what people put in their green waste bins. I put bindweed and dock roots in mine, but others put in anything including wood. I had a 6 inch nail in a bag of lidl compost along with blue plastic. I would not buy it again.
You don't stop doing new things because you get old, you get old because you stop doing new things.
A wee selection of what I've came accross in another bag. Phoned them and the girl seemed genuinely shocked and concerned and is passing the details onto head office. I bought over 20 bags but the one I've just opened is where ive found that wee selection so im guessing its in all of them 😕
It’s not like it’s cheap to buy is it? My son bought a couple of bags yesterday, thought 99p was a good price until I pointed out he could go to the GC and get 3 bags of good stuff for £10.00 same weight. I advised him not to buy anymore.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
I had stones in my seed compost from westlands emailed them and just a email back saying there was a hole in one of there grids basically there not bothered, found a lot of stones in miracale grow compost but didn't email them as I thought what's the point it's not like they are cheap compost, like mentioned above full of recycled crap.
