Customer Reviews

"The compost had a challenging role to fill - to refresh a patch of land occupied for 28 years by a stand of bamboo, which had flowered and died this year, and make it fit for the introduction of an INKHARO rooted rhododendron and the transfer of a Mahonia Eurybracteata from elsewhere in the garden. It assimilated easily and well, and the resulting tilth feels really promising. The plantings - just over a month ago - have visibly begun to get to grips with their new environment and have now been joined by some Spring-flowering bulbs. On the principle of 'the proof of the pudding ....' I retain the fifth star until May next year! "

"Having used a well known brand of ericaceous compost for a few years, I am so glad that I purchased some Bulrush ericaceous compost from Millais Nurseries earlier on in the year as the rhododendrons/azaleas/camellias have all given good displays this year. I have therefore purchased some more as my plants have thrived on it. "

"Superb compost, far better than any other that I have used and good value for money. So good that it was worth driving a round trip of 70 miles. I made use of the 'click & collect' service and everything was waiting for me when I got there. "

"Lovely compost for rhododendron, slightly expensive though. Arrived prompt, nice nursery to do business with. "
By Jenni on 19th June 2020
"I have waited a few weeks so I could accurately review, and I can confidently say this compost is the fantastic. I ordered the compost as my Portuguese heather was due for re-potting. It is utterly thriving! I also used the fertiliser pellets. It is very healthy with lots of new growth. I also had a small common heather that had been forgotten and appeared too far gone to revive. I took a chance and re-potted it with this compost and it has not only recovered but is unrecognisable. Order process was so easy and delivery incredibly quick. Thank you so much - I will definitely buy from you again. "
By Pound on 15th June 2020

By Jonathan Barrett on 9th June 2020
"Good stuff,fibrous yet friable even when compacted,excellent moisture retention.My rhododendrons are liking it especially with the addition of rotted pine needle compost.Unlike other composts made from recycled materials this has been properly rotted down,not a whiff of half rotten matter.Recommended above other ericacious composts currently on the market."

"Our favourite Ericaceous compost. Unlike others it does not shrink and keeps its fibrous structure much longer. Mixed with conifer leaves makes an excellent mulch which is lifeline for us as we live in an area of sandy soil."
