Bob Callard from Sheffield on 04/10/2024
I am really pleased with this product ( John Innes no. 3). I had a pallet load which was really well packed and the bags were a sensible size/weight. The compost quality is excellent and I have already used a third to pint on table up hundreds of new bulbs. I shall certainly be back for more.
Miriam Gilchrist from Silloth on 12/09/2024
John Innes No. 3
Very pleased with CPA service, delivered on time on date given.
Compost looks excellent quality. Have planted up my 2 deep wooden planters, case of wait & see now how plants grow. I'm sure they will do well as compost looks so good. Thanks CPA.
John Taylor from Rochdale, Lancashire on 22/08/2024
Very smooth online transaction. Delivery went exactly to plan and the compost seems to be good quality.
Mr. M R Raza from Livingston on 11/07/2024
Great stuff and I buy it every season, very good as mentioned. Thanks
Rajat MUKHERJEE from Barnet on 20/05/2024
Not a huge fan of those product as gets very hard as it dries with poor drainage despite the grit
Plants in this mix are not happy and dying off
Have tried mixing it sparingly yet it's not great still
Simon from Taunton on 23/04/2024
Excellent service and a quality product.
Many thanks
Richard from Stratford upon Avon on 08/04/2024
Spot on delivery the driver was on time and very friendly, and the John Innes no3 is very good.
Richard from Stratford upon Avon on 08/04/2024
Arrived just as promised and the friendly driver was great - put the delivery just where I wanted it. John Innes no3 looks spot on - now in my greenhouse - looking forward to my tomatoes thriving in it. Well done CPA
Joe from London on 19/03/2024

Joe from London on 19/03/2024
Great quality JI no.3 full bag and the guys delivering were very accomodating 5 star.
Clive from Warlinghan on 21/07/2023
Arrived on the scheduled delivery date. Driver was very accommodating after I changed my mind on where it was to be placed. Great product. (John Innes no.3).
Kai B from Bath on 10/07/2023
Great service, fast and reliable. Mixture looks superb and my plants are looking health. 2 thumbs up
J Smales from Hull on 20/03/2023
Good service and quality compost
thomas robinson from Wiltshire on 22/01/2023
Needs to be labelled better brought both John Inn 3 and and acid compost took a ph metre to work out which each bag contained
Steve Hobbis from Solihull on 22/11/2022
Delivered exactly as promised, superb quality John Innes No3.
Great company to do business with.
Trish from Beckingham on 17/09/2022
Just exactly what I was looking for and delivered to right place by gate to garden. New planter now taking shape.
Trish Thorpe from Beckingham on 17/09/2022
Ordered John Innes no 3 compost in bags for new large wood planter. It was ideal as they delivered right up to gate and then easy to trolley it around garden to planter. Exactly what I was looking for.
Alan snook from Stansted on 23/08/2022
Good product, delivery was on time and the driver even took the pallet away
Peter Chapman from Sheffield on 05/06/2022
I have ordered the John Innes No 3 compost for several years now. In my experience it is an excellent compost. It is easily wettable and moisture retentive but free draining. I have used it in the greenhouse and outside and everything I have grown in it has done well. Some perennials have grown well for several years in the same pot of compost which would be unlikely to happen in a multi-purpose compost.
I have also used the spent mushroom compost for several years and that is also excellent.
The service from CPA Horticulture has been first class. Every order has been delivered at the time they said.
Richard from Dorking on 24/05/2022
It is what it is we use a couple of tons a year mixed with wood quality manure
J Smales from Ryehill on 06/05/2022
Very good service. Second time I have used this firm. Quality of John Innes No 3 excellent
Melanie from Wynyard on 25/04/2022
This product arrived on the day of delivery, the driver was helpful and friendly
I have only opened one bag so far and it appears to be good quality. The proof is in the plant growth so too early to say at the moment
Tim Drury from Hull on 17/04/2022
2nd year in a row I bought a big bag of john innes no3 ,I use it for growing,spuds,tomatoes,all the grown up plants in containers in the garden,conservatory and house if your always short of compost its the way to go!
Rebecca Petty from Tunbridge Wells on 27/03/2022
We get a pallet of this every year for flower, shrub and bulb pots, planting out seedlings, vegetable raised beds, patching up lawns and to add a layer of good soil to existing beds. The results are fantastic because of the nutrients, texture and drainage of this compost. The delivery was second to none in being helpful positioning the pallet where we wanted and getting it down the slope of our drive. Highly recommended!
RED22 from Mitcham on 28/02/2022
Quality of the John Innes 3 looks good. Too early to tell whether plants will thrive. There was an issue with the delivery schedule. But the CPAH customer support was good and sorted out the delvery by the following day.
A maybury from Llangollen on 06/02/2022
Arrived on agreed delivery date. Looks a good medium as John Innes No3 and if it performs as well it will be a bargain.
A maybury from Llangollen on 06/02/2022
Must say that the delivery was as promised and being sceptical about the quality of the compost ordering via internet, it looks very good. The medium looks about the right mix for John Innes No3.
Although I won’t be using for a month or so yet to see how it performs, compared to buying individual bags from diy stores etc it should be a real bargain.
AliceR from Thornbury on 18/12/2021
Nice quality product in 20kg sacks. I expect a bulk bag would be more eco friendly but these are convenient for me as 67 year old lady gardener and I take the bags to the soft plastics recycling point.
Helpful, friendly, Palletways delivery man who arrived within the given two hour slot.
All round, very pleased. Many thanks
Claire from Wiltshire on 01/10/2021
Painfully expensive at current price of £125 for 700L, but consistently high quality and an excellent long-lasting mix for raised beds on heavy clay, unlike some of the cheaper topsoil/compost mixes I've used have used.
Fiona from Nottinghamshire on 25/07/2021
Great company to deal with. Delivery on time. Is good quality.
Robert Leighton from Headcorn on 21/07/2021
Product as described and delivered on time. Driver very polite and friendly. The John Innes No 3 was just what i needed.
Michael Mutter from Devon on 23/06/2021
We purchased a bulk bag a few years ago and were very happy with the
quality of the compost/soil. We wanted another bulk bag and it was as
good as our first. Highly recommend and will order again.
Raymond Jenkins from Hereford on 31/03/2021
A very good quality compost, nice and gritty for my clay soil. Disappointed it still contains peat.
Thorny from Devon on 12/03/2021
easy delivery - good quality compost - would order from CPA again
John Crane from Littlehampton on 25/02/2021
Much better quality this time with a properly sterilised fine mix delivered by a friendly co-operative driver who placed the delivery precisely where I wanted it. Delivered on the day requested but the online tracking facility did not function.
Trish from Chapmanslade on 19/02/2021
Great service very helpful delivery guy would definitely use cpa again ...happy with the product john innes no3 ...used a smaller truck to turn up into our drive as the angle for turning was too tight
Trish from Chapmanslade on 19/02/2021

Doug Morgan from Bath on 04/02/2021
Ive just received a “loose bag” of John Innes No 3 and a consignment of Ericaceous compost with John Innes. This is the 12th consignment from CPA Horticulture and I’m yet to find a fault in their deliveries or the quality of their products. As always delivered when promised, and predictably the products were excellent.
lynn robertson from whitstable on 18/11/2020
very easy delivery - very good quality compost - would order from CPA again
joel from Wallington on 14/11/2020

Good product
.Was delivered promptly .
The delivery was done according to social distancing .
Actually ,I m looking to order some more
thank you
Sally from Cambridge on 12/11/2020
I’ve had numerous bags of this John Innes blend over the last couple of years and it’s excellent. I have a heavy clay soil in my garden and I have been digging this in my borders to improve drainage. The plants have been growing well and weeding is made considerably easier. There are no stones in the mix and I have also used it in my tubs and hanging baskets and for potting up plants. I will be buying more in the future.
Sabiha Patel from Hornchurch on 22/10/2020
Excellent soil, will definitely order again. Lovely delivery drivers, excellent service from them. Arrived on time very easy to order.
Sabiha Patel from Hornchurch on 22/10/2020
Beautiful soil, very impressed with the quality. Will definitely order again. Very quick service and the delivery drivers are very nice and will put the pallet of soil where you like.

Bernard from Beverley on 15/07/2020
Clear and easy to use web site. 1000 L John Innes 3 compost delivered quickly and on the date promised. Efficient, friendly and easy to use service with excellent communication of delivery time and date. Cannot comment on quality of product yet as I have not put any plants in it, but it looks good with no stones, weeds etc. present. Would recommend and use again.
Faiza Butt from London on 09/07/2020
The compost arrived very quickly and well packed. It’s wonderful compost with good mix of drainage and nutrients.
It’s the best value available as well.
I can not recommend it enough,
Chris from Stone on 09/07/2020
Good communication from CPA particularly as one of the items had gone out of stock. So ended up with two deliveries which the delivery company put where I wanted - the driver was very helpful. Compost and ornamental bark look to be good products.
Adrian from Blackford on 07/07/2020
Excellent service. Clear website, excellent communication at each step through order confirmation and delivery. Very prompt delivery, product received within 3 days of ordering. Very helpful delivery person (Pallet Network) who dropped the pallet exactly where I needed it. Best price for bulk delivery, I’ve used CPA three times now for bark and potting compost. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
Jayne Stevens from Chesterfield on 05/07/2020
Excellent product, delivered on the date specified and I was contacted beforehand to check everything was ok for that date. Overall good customer service and good product will definitely use again.
John Crane from Littlehampton on 22/06/2020
Largest bag of John Innes No 3 delivered 2 years ago obviously not sterilised as masses of annual weeds spang up after planting containers.
Brian Byrne from Tarporley on 16/05/2020
Excellent! Great for Chrysanthemums!
Rebecca Wallman from Colchester on 02/11/2019
Good communication from company, delivery was on time and product appears to be good quality.
Phil S from Birmingham on 29/10/2019
Delivered as notified with updates and the mixture is very good too! A fairly light loam compared to a more heavy mixture I had been using - which was just what i wanted. Happily recommend CPA.
Paul Thompson from leicester on 16/10/2019
Prompt Delivery and very good quality, Thanks
Simon Scargill from Nottingham on 01/07/2019
Well broken down and mixed. Shame about the plastic bag in one of the bags of compost,;5 stars otherwise
John Crane from Littlehampton on 05/04/2019
Delivered a day early despite being updated online that it was coming on the Wednesday. No problem as driver could put it at the side of the driveway, and its too big to pinch!
Interesting, mix must have been done when wet, as soil was somewhat in round lumps and the mix wasn't homogeneous as you find in bags but reasonable value in bulk.
John Innes can vary considerably between suppliers but it appears to be less sandy than some.
Probably would order again following assessment of performance
M Booth from London on 14/10/2018

R Treadwell from Banbury on 30/10/2014
Prompt delivery on agreed date. Mixture looks superb. Good strong bags which are easy to carry at 40 litres. Too early to tell whether plants will thrive but I can't imagine why they wouldn't. Highly recommend using CPAH.
