Sprucing up your garden this weekend?

Why not head to Longue Hougue and pick up some of our new FREE soil improving compost.

This biologically active, nutrient-rich compost, is ideal for mixing into soil for pots, hanging baskets, containers, raised beds and vegetable plots. You can even spread it thinly over your lawn to help improve poorer soil and boost moisture retention.
Simply bring a spade and a container - unless you’re able to load it straight into the back of your pickup truck! You’re welcome to take as much as you can carry, there are no restrictions! Better still, it’s available to collect whenever it suits you – 7 days a week. What’s not to love?

For larger or commercial quantities, please contact [email protected] or call us on 01481 221234 in advance and we can arrange loading using our onsite machinery.

Guernsey Waste improves the quality of its free garden compost The 'windrow' method ensures the temperature of garden waste is constantly monitored to provide optimum conditions.

Our FREE soil improving compost is now available to take away. Head to Longue Hougue to load up your containers or the back of your pick-up truck. The pile is regularly topped up and there’s plenty to go around – follow the map here to find the collection point.

Our FREE soil-improving compost is now even better.

Following an upgrade to our green waste composting process, supported by industry experts in the UK, we’ve significantly improved the consistency and quality of the final product.

Using a windrow composting method, we’re now producing a stable, nutrient-rich conditioner that gardeners can use with greater confidence. It’s ideal for lawns (applied as a thin layer), vegetable patches, borders, pots and containers — simply mix it in with your existing soil.

Why not pop down to Longue Hougue to pick some up and see the difference for yourself?
