Dean from Lowestoft on 09/10/2024

Easy company to deal with recommend
Dave from Stroud, Glos on 21/09/2024
2nd time using CPA and no complaints at all. Good product, good communication,delivered when they said it would be. Recommended.
Jane Kelly from Pattiswick, Braintree on 02/09/2024
Excellent service and product.
I have used CPA before for mushroom compost and once again the service and the procut were both excellent
I can highly recommend CPA
tony from Marlborough, Wiltshire on 09/08/2024
Another pallet of this very good compost. Delivered on time by a friendly, helpful driver.
Steve from Kent on 01/08/2024
Great as always keep it coming
Dean from Lowestoft on 07/06/2024
Qaulity compost will order again
Richard from Stourbridge on 05/06/2024
Excellent product as ever.
Steve t from Kent on 03/06/2024
The plants love it , and plenty of food in there
Steve from Kent on 11/05/2024
Quick delivrey the mix has been edited slightly but plants seem okay
Hugh Reeves from Hitchin on 06/05/2024
We were disappointed with this compost - not up to the usual standard of past purchases. Too many stones, lumps of clay, sticks and pieces of plastic means that every bit has to be sifted whether it is to be used for seeds or potting on. Not what we expected.
pamela strydom from milton keynes on 28/04/2024
Excellent value, ordered a pallet for the allotment and it is very good compost. Easy to order and organised delivery. They use an external delivery company and the driver is usually very abrupt and unhelpful, but he turns up as scheduled so no complaints overall
Tom from Rotherham on 16/04/2024
Great compost will definitely be buying again
Steve t from Sittingbourne on 14/04/2024
Good as always, plenty of slow realease fertilizer to get things going .
chris from Northampton on 14/04/2024
Great product as usual, I'll be ordering again!
chris from Northampton on 14/04/2024
Great product as usual. I will be ordering again
JOHN LAPISH from Calver UK on 08/04/2024
Excellent as always. Great product delivered on time
D_B from Notts on 02/04/2024
Perfect product. Very well delivered by pallet team. Few of the bags were not sealed fully, but it was a very minor issue. Would definitely buy again.
Dendende Ltd from Lydford on Fosse on 23/03/2024
We have recently used the Multipurpose Compost for our imported soil-free rooted palms and for re-potting imported small tissue culture ground covers. All plants are in exellent health. Over and above the great quality of the product, the service received from CPA- Horticulture is exceptional.
Ash Kan from London on 14/03/2024
The quality of the product and the firm’s communication was outstanding. I will bw a returning customer and recommend them to friends and family. 10 out of 10.
Jenny from Manchester on 22/01/2024
Great quality product, some of the best soil around! Lovely delivery guy. It would be good if they had a motorised lifter for the pallets as a manual one has been tricky to get over bumps in ground but the delivery guy did his best. Will be ordering again!
Chris from Northampton on 22/01/2024
Quality product as always, at a great price. I'll certainly be buying more in the future
Kioey Pescott from Leigh Upon Mendip on 11/11/2023
Good service, value and great product. This is the second batch I've ordered.
Steve from Kent on 12/09/2023
2nd pallet orderd this year slightly more wood fines than the last (or maybe a fresher batch as such as there are lighter in colour) before moaning
Have done the the water holding test in the latest heat wave and its fine as normal .
So no complaints here .
Gavin from Crickhowell on 13/07/2023
Good quality compost at a great price. Delivered on time, with good communication from CPA Horticulture.
First time ordering. Can’t fault them.
SheepyIzzy from Shropshire on 09/07/2023
The 1ST THING I noticed even before it was unloaded were the words PEAT REDUCED!! on the side.
The 2ND THING I noticed is that some folk seem to think that the domestic customer doesnt know what 60 litre looks or feels like! My garden is up steps, I LIFTED these bags twice so believe me when I say I know what I am talking about. Once off the pallet, up steps onto a wheelbarrow then off the wheelbarrow to the pallet that they are to sit on. A couple of the top bags, though looked lovely, the minute I lifted them, compost went straight down me onto the floor as the middle of the bag was split. At least 10 weren't sealed right and were leaking at the ends. NEVER had these with the Durstons! And 2 bags I could lift with 1 hand! Not a cat in hells chance that there was 60 litres in those ones! I am REALLY hoping that this compost that came here as PEAT REDUCED does NOT let me down otherwise its going to be a very expensive mistake!
PMR from Glos on 01/06/2023
Great value and quality. Have ordered before and will do so again.
Highly recommend
PMR from Glos on 01/06/2023
Great quality. Delivery smooth. Very satisfied.
Have ordered before and will do so again
Richard from Stourbridge on 26/05/2023
Excellent product as ever. Delivery on time and very helpful driver
MARTIN HALL from WATLINGTON on 22/05/2023
Arrived quickly nice compost
Clive Fenn from BIRMINGHAM on 04/05/2023
Buying compost has become a bit and miss as the move to peat free has seen supposedly premium compost arriving with pieces of plastic and large twigs. The stuff from CPA is consistent, although we have added organic matter to it to get it nearer to what we wanted for some of our plants. This is not the first time we have used them and probably won't be the last. Delivery is prompt and although the pallet trolley sometimes fails to mount the kerb on our drive, I can cope with moving the bags a few yards by hand.
P.F. Fifield from Whitchurch on 02/04/2023
I have used CPA's multi purpose compost every year for the past few years for everything from filling raised beds to seed starting, it's a great product and the service has always been excellent. I only hope that when I can no longer get their peat based compost that whatever alternative they offer is of the same outstanding quality.
Gareth James Hodges from cheltenham on 18/03/2023
Fantastic product, excellent customer service and the delivery guy put it just where we wanted it.
Will definitely be ordering again
D Edwards from Reading on 07/03/2023
A good quality compost, well packed and stacked on pallet. Moisture content is good never comes dry and dusty, I have been using for the past 2 years, now potting on 5000 plants a year. never had a bad batch or reason to complain.
Henderson from Marlborough, Wiltshire on 20/02/2023
Another purchase of this excellent product; the best compost I have purchased for a long time. Delivered on time by a very helpful driver.
Pauline Roberts from Reigate on 27/06/2022
We have ordered many different products from CPA and they have all lived up to expectations. The delivery process is well organized and if you have to speak to the office , they are extremely helpful.
Very good product and the plants and seeds seem to be thriving.
M miller from York on 16/06/2022
Lovely compost and it was delivered on time
M miller from York on 16/06/2022

Always really good quality compost. Delivered on time and bulk bag was nice and full.
martin hall from Watlington on 18/03/2022
Nice compost in good size bags. Arrived on time.
Wilfred Paul Marbrow from Swadlincote on 19/02/2022
Excellent product with good fine texture and on a par with the old Borda Mona, Shamrock Suregrow and of a quality not seen for many years. Excellent and speedy service. I look forward to see the results in all aspects of use from potting, cuttings and seeds.
Richard from Stourbridge on 15/02/2022
Excellent product and delivery as always

George from Guildford on 14/02/2022
Top product, conveniently and efficiently delived.
Thankyou
Brian Jillings from Lowestoft on 06/02/2022
Have used this company many times for mushroom compost hardwood chips and premium multipurpose compost all of which are quality products and delivery is as stated.
Would recommend without hesitation
Brian from Lowestoft on 06/02/2022
I have used CPA products many times before and this order of multipurpose compost was as usual great quality and delivered as stated so can reccomend without hesitation.
Raymond Howgego from Southend on 31/07/2021
I had 2 pallets of the premium multipurpose earlier in the year and just had a further 3 pallets the compost is very good and would not use any other the only problem i had this time was a number of the bags were damaged and the seal in top of bag tended tocome apart when picking up
pete howard from wymondham /norwich on 03/06/2021
Good quality will use again.
Ian Marshall from Newbury on 01/06/2021
Excellent service, the compost is fantastic.
Iryna from London on 23/05/2021
Very happy with the quality of compost and the service. Excellent product, delivered quickly, communication on timing of delivery excellent, helpful driver.
Jeff from Vale of Glamorgan on 28/04/2021
Second time I have ordered from CPA Horticulture. Excellent quality products and delivery service. Will be back for more in the future
Jill from Clapham on 27/04/2021
Excellent. Mistake on order rectified immediately. Delivery very efficient and helpful.
Des Wray from Cornhill-on-Tweed on 09/04/2021
As usual excellent products and service. Multi Purpose Compost and John Innes no3 first class the bagged Horse Manure Mulch looks good but time will tell. I have no concerns as all products purchased to date have surpassed my expectations and expect the Mulch to do the same.
Mr Lee from Suffolk on 25/03/2021
Have used CPA for a few years now and must say the pallet of MPC looks the best I have seen, we shall find out at the end of the season.
Always good service from this company .
Rhys Jaggar from Uxbridge on 24/03/2021
The load arrived at the start of the 1 hour window indicated by the deliverers. The packing size was ideal for carrying through a garage and to the vegetable patch in the back garden, making the distribution seamless and simple. The compost appears uniform and well broken down, however this season's growing will be its ultimate test.
Raymond Howgego from Southend on sea on 07/03/2021
I have had two 40 bag loads this year all ready it is a great compost for both potting up small plants as well as established plants and will certainly continue to purchase
Clive Fenn from BIRMINGHAM on 04/03/2021
I bought this compost as my usual supply of named compost was unavailable. I have checked a bag and it looks good but it is to early to tell what will happen to my crops. Hoping that the outcomes are as good as some of the reviews suggest as it is certainly a cheaper alternative.
Brian Jillings from Lowestoft on 08/02/2021
i have used this company many times before and will continue to do so because the compost is a quality product and delivery is always as promised so very happy customer
John Towill from Stoke on Trent on 25/11/2020
Seems a lovely product, the real test will be in the Spring and see how the plants like it.
pete howard from NORWICH on 29/10/2020
AS YET I HAVEN'T USED THE COMPOST BUT IT LOOKS QUITE GOOD NICE AND FINE WITH NO LUMPS UNLIKE THE COMPOST I HAD FROM ANOTHER FIRM IN FACT NONE OF MY SEEDLING CAME TO ANYTHING BUT THATS WITH ANOTHER FIRM WHEN I USE YOUR COMPOST I WILL WRITE ANOTHER REWIEW STATING HOW I GOT ON WITH IT LOOKS PROMISING .
wendy forder from Norfolk on 11/10/2020
The compost is the best I have had in a long time I've had no problems with it what so ever. Everything grows as it should and doesn't dry out like other composts I've used in the past.
wendy forder from Norfolk on 11/10/2020
The compost is the best I have bought in a lot of years and I will continue to buy it from you
Wendy from Norfolk on 06/07/2020
The compost is the best compost I've used in a very long time and I will be ordering more.
Graham Lawrance from Grimsby on 01/07/2020
Excellent product. Met all my expectations.
Janet from Peterborough on 24/06/2020
I purchased a pallet of multipurpose compost back in February, and have now used the product for growing seeds, potting on and general tree/shrub plantings. I have found it to be a superb product with a very rich texture and just the right amount of moisture content. All seeds/plants have grown and developed really well, and I will certainly be re-ordering in the future.
Ali from Birmingham on 08/06/2020
I submitted this review a week ago and it was not published! I do not understand why. Anyway, I am submitting it again: I am very disappointed. I had bought this multipurpose compost several times over the years with almost no problems, however the last order which was on the 12th of September 2019, a pallet of 45 x 60 litres was greatly contaminated with some kind of broadleaf herbicide, which literally destroyed several months of hard work. Whatever in that compost has stunted and deformed all the runner, French and broad beans and the growth of the aubergine, the pepper and the tomato plants, courgette and squash all look like toddlers sitting in their beds doing absolutely nothing. All my garden beds are now contaminated and I do not know what to do. Very disappointing indeed. It is the responsibility of the compost manufacturer to make sure all ingredients used for the compost making are free from any harmful chemicals.

John from Chorleywood on 17/04/2020
We bought a pallet load of Multi Purpose Compost bags in Sept 2019 and have used about half (as at April 2020). Service (ordering, comms, delivery) were excellent and the compost itself is of good quality. We will definitely use again
Winnie from Orpington Kent on 13/03/2020
Another excellent purchase. I really like the compost from CPA. It is such good quality and will need to order a bit Moreau I underestimated the quantity I needed x
Barbra Harvie from SELKIRK on 27/01/2020
very impressed with the compost so far. Thank you for re-arranging the delivery date to suit
James Powell from St Briavels on 15/11/2019
Really good multi purpose compost. Just got finished moving the 45 x 60 litre into my garden and they are really easy to handle, not heavy and the polythene bags are super strong and reusable many many times (who doesn't hoard compost bags?). This stuff is excellent quality in my opinion - my batch resembles homemade compost you'd be proud of... moist, springy and dark brown, not black - compost connoisseurs will understand the significance of this). My CPA cherry is officially popped... i'll be back for more and i'll be pointing my customers your direction too.
Les Batt from Lincoln on 14/09/2019
Excellent quality potting compost. Have sieved it through and all the lumps have been put in some areas of the garden with poor soil.
Soil now looks a treat. Very happy and can recomend.
Website is easy to use and delivery smooth.

Steve Johnson from Retford on 31/05/2019
I can't say I am impressed with this compost. It was very wet when it arrived and has dried out very slowly subsequently. Some plants have thrived, others have refused to grow. The product you have sent me does not relate to the stated composition stating that it is less than 25 mm in size. The product sent looks as if it has come from landfill. Apart from the occasional stone, brick, broken tile I have found pieces of wood, rubber and a metre or so of rope. Definitely not a blend of Irish and Somerset peat with mushroom compost.
Richard from Stourbridge on 05/05/2019
Excellent compost. Delivered on time and put where I wanted.

Good quality but be warned, arrived on a pallet. Luckily we have the facilities to move it around.

Yvonne from Romney Marsh on 28/02/2019
General purpose compost looks great. Delivered as promised. Luckily we live on a farm and have the facilities to deal with a pallet load. Might be tricky if you don’t have the space!
However, emptied a few bags and the quality looks good.
Kush from London on 24/02/2019
Good product - Will definitely use again!

Andrew from Essex on 14/10/2018
I'm a novice gardener. Compost looks good quality although a number of UFOs (unidentified foreign objects). For me, delivery was nightmare. I selected date and arranged day off to help unload (as suggested in the delivery information). At 15:30 on delivery date, I was informed the label had fallen off and delivery would have to be rescheduled for another day. Rescheduled for following day and arranged another day off work. When I contacted CPA, they were apologetic and offered token £20. They did also mention rescheduling for Saturday but I declined as everything had already been arranged. On rescheduled day, I was texted (2 hour) window, but item arrived after. In overall rating, I’ve added 1 star for token £20 and another for very helpful delivery man. However, £20 in no way compensates me for lost day off work and unfortunately this negative experience means it is less likely that I will purchase from CPA in future. Other people may have different experiences.

Sandy Connor from Staffordshire on 29/01/2018
Good product
Not a bad price !
WEBBER from Sandford on 27/01/2018
Good quality sacks,and compost would seem to be fine. As with other reviewers, the size of the delivery vehicle was too large, and caused some problems. The driver of the lorry was helpful but getting the compost to the required position was difficult. In the future I will consider collection from site.
Shirley kent from Ledbury on 10/01/2018
Firstly very impressed with speedy delivery. Compost is rich and black as far as I can see not a lot of lumps is very crumbly remains to be seen as to the growing structure but compared to other companies I have dealt with the outlook is favourable.
Julie from on 21/09/2017
Really like this compost ... Good quality ... Thanks!
Karen Thomas from Harrogate on 28/06/2017
Compost looks great, hopefully our plants will grow as good as last time.
Delivery driver very helpful.
We're sure we'll be back for more, as this is our 2nd batch!
Dr mg wyllie from Banbury on 26/06/2017
Excellent quality and prompt delivery
Helen from Ambleside on 06/06/2017
Seems great compost - proof will be in a few months when we see how the plants grow. Sadly haulage company didn't pay heed to needing a smaller truck so we had to man handle a pallet load of bags up the drive. No mean task!
