Prompt service and beautifully wrapped, fine quality single and rare snowdrop "Grumpy" arrived in a couple of days. I've planted it and can hardly wait for spring.

Great peat free compost

Coconut coir blocks easy to prepare. Resulting compost great to handle and use, especially for potting on. Plants all growing v well, compost holding water well.

Compact compost

Too soon to tell if the compost is as good as the Which? Review for me. Impressive that the 70 litres of compost comes in two small blocks that need almost 20 litres of water added as it swells to fill my wheelbarrow

Thanks for your feedback, Ralph. We have experienced a few issues with DPD, even though they were the most expensive courier that provided a Next Day service. We strive for the very best service for our customers, so it is a real shame that you have left us a two star review. However, we hope that the product performs well for you.

The Easy compost that I ordered was…

The Easy compost that I ordered was good and as specified but, I had to wait over 2 months for it to be delivered as their manufacturer let them down. Waiting this long for compost at this time of year is not ideal.
My next order for the compost was a victim of their delivery company but on contacting Sustainable it was quickly sorted out and I received it a few days later.

Thanks for the feedback, Kathleen. We apologise for the delay in getting your order to you - the product was already on a pre-order, but due to circumstances out of our control, this got put back a few weeks. We will ensure this never happens again!

Sorry we bothered to use them

We ordered compost from this company - a Which recommendation. Estimated delivery for February. Later, we received an email about supply issues with an estimated delivery for the end of March. There was no sign of delivery at the end of March. We telephoned and were told the delivery was due out in a couple of days. That deadline has been and gone. We've tried for the past two days to speak to someone. The phone goes to voicemail! We've contacted Which as they recommended them. We've left a voice mail message and left a message on Messenger. We now want our money back. UPDATE: We managed to speak to someone. We were informed our compost had been collected by DPD and would be delivered soon. A later email gave us a tracking number. We put the tracking number in, it told us they had our details and were waiting for our parcel. We have checked two or three times a day and receive the same message!

Hello Niel, thank you for your feedback. We have always been completely honest with you from the start, as supply issues out of our control really had a knock on effect on our original plans to dispatch orders straight away. Since you tried to contact us recently, we have been working flat out, 24/7, to fulfil all orders and answer customer queries. For a new business having to deal with all of this at once, we would really appreciate your understanding a little more. We don't use Messenger, so this message was never received. Your order has since been fulfilled, so we are unable to action a refund unless the product is faulty - which we can guarantee it will exceed all your expectations!

An honest and helpful company

Unfortunately an order I placed couldn’t be fulfilled owing to supply issues beyond their control. Their communication regarding the problem was exemplary and the delays honestly communicated. I became desperate for my order and on relaying my concern they helped by outsourcing a supply which was promptly delivered. I found the company honest, and extremely helpful on this my first order. A pleasure to deal with.

Delivery was slower than expected but the compost when added to water feels lovely. Will have to wait to see how the plants grow.

Not our normal service for sure (we hate delays just as much as you) but hopefully the delay was worth it and your plants thrive in the Which? Best Buy compost of 2025!

First reactions

It's obviously too early to comment on how well the compost is making my seedlings grow; I can only comment on the process.

The delivery was good. The compost was sealed in polythene as thin bricks. Putting one of these in (lots of) water gradually resulted in swelling though I suspect that if I hadn't hastened the process it would likely take two days for full recovery of volume. Even then there'd likely be lumps needing attention. The volume of water absorbed is amazing.

The end result is like no other compost I have used in that it is so easy to clean hands completely. The plants seem to be growing on nicely.

This is brilliant to hear! It certainly is much easier to clean your hands after use, and the controlled release fertiliser will keep your plants happy and healthy for up to six months. We hope you enjoy working with it!

Easy to order

Easy to order, dispatched and delivered promptly. 'In the green' snowdrop bulb was well packaged so it arrived in pristine condition.
The bonus was that the recipient, a snowdrop enthusiast, was delighted that it was a variety that she'd not heard of so was new to her collection!
