Troubleshooting
Compost feels slightly compacted upon opening
This is normal due to shipping. Loosen the contents with a hand fork or trowel before use to restore aeration.
Delivery vehicle cannot reach desired drop-off point
Ensure you have a flat, level hard-standing area at the point of delivery as the tail lift requires stability to operate safely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this product arrives on a pallet via a curtain-sided lorry, you must ensure your property has clear access and a flat, hard surface for the tail lift offload. Before beginning your planting, fluff the compost manually to restore aeration that may have compacted during transit. For care, store the bags in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the organic nutrients. When using in containers, ensure there is adequate drainage at the base to complement the compost's natural water retention capabilities.
