    Best supplier of compost 2026

    Any recommendations for a good quality compost for growing vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers? Last year was a disaster and the compost I purchased was infested with fungus gnats.

    If you want something unusual try Ugni. They are related to blueberries but the fruit ripen much later and have a fragrant taste - we liked them, more for snacking on than pies I suspect. I bought the variegated one and have it in my front garden. I think it would be OK in a pot.
