Selling of gardening supplies in Dulwich.

[Jonathanallport]

Hi all,

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum.

As a keen 'urban' gardener i have noticed that now the garden centre in east dulwich has closed it can be difficult to get compost and other material without having to travel to far. (i know there is one in dulwich but hard if you dont have transport)

im wondering if this is an issue anyone else is having, and if so, would people in the local area be interested if someone like myself set up a little project selling compost etc. I can get it in bulk and sell it on for a smaller price than most garden centre's through people i know, and also possibly delivering it to the local people aswell.

Just putting a feeler out really to see if its something that would go down well or be worth doing to save people the same hassle i have sometimes getting supplies.

Any advice or comments would be really useful.

Cheers guys.

Jon.

Hi Jon, get a couple of pallet loads of '6X' and let people know where it can be collected from. Mark up your price as garden centres won't touch it due to the smell in hot weather.

Cheers .

Free horse manure available from Dulwich Riding School I believe.

I really miss our local garden centres and the one next to North Dulwich station doesn't really cut the mustard for me. I would buy your compost but not in large amounts. I would also like to buy small numbers of different seed potatoes locally and not just a large bag of one type. My plot is very small so I end up either squishing too many in or throwing/giving them away

more wood shavings than manure.
