Composts

Growing Media Composts

All Thompsons composts are mixed and bagged on site and are either reduced peat or peat-free, (we use black fenland soil with composted bark as a substitute for peat).  In recent years we have gone back to our roots and are growing again.  We are raising winter and summer bedding and from these plants produce reasonably priced hanging baskets and tubs that have proved extremely popular.  We also grow vegetables from seeds for transplanting into vegetable plots or containers to encourage the experience of freshly picked produce.
