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.

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.

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) –

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.

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.

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.
