Green goodness is a fantastic all round compost and mulch and helps to improver the grow seeds and soil to grow vegetables it’s got a, good texture holds the moisture and ideal size choices for allotments. The service delivery is also good. The prices seem very fair for the quality of the product.

Eric Glendinning (verified owner) –
Excellent soil conditioner. Have used it several times with good effect on heavy clay.
Ana (verified owner) –
Bought it second time as trying to improve soil in the garden. Previous owner had pebbles on weed stopping membrane so we’re just starting the improvement. This looks so rich and lush compared to the soil that spent so many years under plastic membrane. Will be buying it again! I was given a hand when packing it on site. I’m very happy with the product and it is sustainable.
Julie (verified owner) –
Love this natural peat free compost
Ian Harrower (verified owner) –
Green Goodness does what is says on the bag!
Recent order was all good, onlys mall issue is the delivery man didn’t phone until he arrived with the truck instead of the day before or even an hour before, so we could be prepared for him. Otherwise first class!
Jill (verified owner) –
Excellent product at a good price. Very helpful staff.
Mike Penman (verified owner) –
Have been using this for a number of years. Soil has gone from heavy clay to an excellent growing medium
Norma Loudon (verified owner) –
Love this product- and at this excellent price I am more than happy to keep buying it as a soil improver and mulch
Sheila Judson (verified owner) –
I’m very pleased with the mulch and will order more in due course. It is peat-free which is essential for me, looks good and the delivery service was excellent.
Ian Davies (verified owner) –
It’s great to have peat-free compost recycled from local garden waste, reducing landfill and greenhouse gas emissions, and at a very good price, too. I’m a return customer. I’ve used this as a soil improver and for pots, though I think my latest batch’s water retention would be better mixed with some of the topsoil I bought from Caledonian Horticulture. The staff I dealt with by phone and onsite were all friendly and helpful, too.
Mike Conway (verified owner) –
Excellent product, great value
Linda Murray (verified owner) –
Excellent peat free compost, no solid lumps or woody bits that are often in shop bought composts. Excellent price too, highly recommend.
Sheilagh Nisbet (verified owner) –
I keep ordering more and more Green Goodness. It has proven successful as a compost in my raised beds, and also as a mulch around a young cotoneaster hedge. Beetroot and carrots are thriving in it as are my herbaceous plants and other perenniels. I have generally good topsoil in my garden but cranefly larvae are amongst the uninvited guests, so Green Goodness improves the overall quality of growing medium. Easily collected from a FRM local depot, too.
M. MUNDIE (verified owner) –

This year we decided to add soil improver to our raised beds. Found the Caledonian Horticulture site and was impressed by both the positive reviews and the price.

First time I have used this company. Ordering, changing my delivery date and delivery all excellent. This mulch is lovely to use, like tucking your plants into an expensive duvet. The bark was also perfect
Robert Hailey –
ordered Green Goodness, topsoil and lawn dressing on the Monday and delivered by the Wednesday to central belt, great service , my wife said the driver couldn`t be any more helpful when offloading the bags, Haven’t used the materials yet but if as good as the service than can`t go wrong
George Harris (verified owner) –
Since we moved to a smaller garden and decided we had no room for a compost heap, we have used 20 bags a year of “Green Goodness” and we expect to go on doing so.
Andy Anderson (verified owner) –
Great mulch for our raised beds. Staff are wonderful and very helpful.

Honestly the best compost I have purchased, you can feel the quality in your hands compared to the shop bought stuff.

Iain Luke (verified owner) –
Great stuff. I have a new garden with heavy clay soil. Dug in lots of this soil improver. Definitely a work in progress. I will be buying more.
Eyemouth Scout Group (verified owner) –

Great service as always. The Improver is once again in lovely condition for handling (two bags from last year still easy to work with as well). Vicky who delivered it was a joy to meet; full of life and went the extra mile helping to lift the bags to the back garden. She’ll go far!
Kenneth Mackinnon (verified owner) –
The ten bags of Green Goodness appear to be an excellent compost with even cosistency and grain size throughout. Also, excellent delivery and all round great company to deal with.

Great product so far! No buts of plastic or stones like I was experiencing elsewhere. Good colour and not bad smelling. Plants seem to like it so far! Great getting a good few bags delivered so I bow have stick for all those wee jobs. Would definitely buy again.
Jackie Fraser (verified owner) –
Lovely compost and I like the fact I’m getting my own garden brown bin composting back. That’s a recycling circle worth investing in. Well done to all the team at Caledonian.

Great service and product once again, will be ordering more in the future.
Ana Connor (verified owner) –

Andrew Napier (verified owner) –
Amazing stuff
Dianne Smith (verified owner) –
So far, so good. Just been eating the first crop of lettuce grown in trough at back door. The compost is easy to work with and drains well. I wonder if any particles from my brown bins have returned via the compost?
Eva Douglas (verified owner) –
Green Goodness has improved our soil hugely.
Great price, order ready quickly and help given to load it into car.
Highly recommend this company
HLM (verified owner) –
Great product! Great price!! Thank you Caledonian Horticulture 🙂
Pam B (verified owner) –
This stuff is lovely for the garden. Improving the soil, growing anything. I think the Edinburgh council kitchen waste collection is processed into this. I have a small garden with not space to make compost, so it’s like someone else taking my waste and making a really good compost from it. The delivery service is good to.
John Grey (verified owner) –
Third time I’ve ordered this – great product and very helpful delivery.
Yannick Longbottom –
Used to dress really poor “topsoil” bought from a different place. This stuff has a wonderful consistency and smell. Really pleased Caledonian Horticulture recommended I use this instead of their topsoil to finish the new lawn I was seeding.
M.Fan (verified owner) –
Very pleased with this product. Nice texture and easy to work with. Click and collect from Todhills was simple and straightdforward and managed to get 14 bags into my car.
John Grey (verified owner) –
Our 4th time buying this product. Just used for winter mulching.

Excellent quality seived no twigs or stones easy to use
Mick Conboy (verified owner) –
Not the first time we’ve used Green Goodness, and almost certainly not the last. The material is very well composted and easy to spread. Delivery could not have been better; a difficult turn off the main road and a tricky drive proved no bother, all done in an extremely courteous manner.
Cath Chalmers (verified owner) –
Green Goodness has been my go to for the last couple of years and I’ll continue to use it. So easy to order and collect from Braehead and great for the garden. The guys at the quarry are always polite and helpful. Nightly recommend
Ailsa Peck (verified owner) –
Great product. Transforming a pretty dead soil. Thanks you
Kathleen Macfarlane –
A great multipurpose product which is excellent even for potting on plants. It is like a good loam and works wonders with old, dry soil. I have recommended it to all my friends. Very reasonably priced and home delivery excellent. Many thanks.
Helen M (verified owner) –
