Guardian paper recommends compostdirect.com for soil improver

“Front Gardens – create a great a first impression” http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2012/aug/17/front-gardens-tips

“Making best use of your front garden is often overlooked...but with a bit of TLC not only can this space be turned into a useful and attractive area it can also add value to your home” says the Guardian.

The Guardian then goes on to write that tackling the front garden for an overhaul can present a number of challenges, one of the main being soil quality. With front garden soil often being compacted, dry and dusty, plenty of organic matter needs adding before beginning planting. An organic soil improver, such as Garden Compost Soil Improver from compostdirect.com will help rejuvenate lifeless soils.
