The 2026 batch is easily the best compost we have ever sold at Mr. Logs. Everything we sell this year has been screened down to 10mm and is incredibly uniform in structure with an extremely low level of contaminants.
Can be collected or delivered via truck with crane which will drop at the side of the delivery truck.
Please also be aware that this product is too heavy (500kg) to be dragged along the floor after being unloaded from our truck. Delivery is usually kerbside only or potentially over a wall located very close to kerbside.
Topsoil vs. Compost: Which do you need?
To ensure you get the right product for your garden project, it is helpful to understand the difference between topsoil and compost:
- Topsoil is for Building and Filling: Topsoil provides essential structure and volume. Because it contains natural mineral components (like sand, silt, and clay) that do not decompose, it is the perfect bulk base layer for filling new raised beds, levelling uneven ground, or preparing an area before laying turf. Minerals do not get eaten by soil microbes or gas off into the air. If you put 10 inches of topsoil into a bed, you will still have roughly 10 inches years later, keeping your levels consistent.
- Compost is for Improving and Enriching: Compost is an active soil amendment packed with organic matter. If your goal is to boost nutrients, increase microbial life, or break up heavy, existing soil in your current garden beds, our compost is exactly what you need. However, because compost is 100% organic matter, it will naturally break down and shrink. As soil microbes and earthworms eat the compost to release nutrients, much of it is converted into carbon dioxide and water. It also compacts heavily when watered or rained on. If you use pure compost to fill a deep raised bed, it is very common to see the soil level drop by 40% to 50% over a year or two, leaving you with a sunken bed that needs topping up.

Some of these materials are sourced from previous use and undergo a detailed shredding and screening process. Although recycling is a great practice, we cannot always provide a 100% guarantee that some unwanted materials/microplastics won’t make their way into the final product.
In case of sharp objects, it is recommended that you always wear thick gloves when handling compost.
