Great product and service. Have been using Carbon Gold products on lawn, indoor plants, trees and general compost for a... few years now with great results (have been able to save a few near-death indoor plants too). Whilst it is relatively expensive, it stays in the soil and keeps doing it's thing, so over time should become more cost-efficient.read more

I have great confidence in the pure vitality of my fruits, flowers, herbs and vegetables when they have been grown in... Carbon Gold composts and fertilisers.

Delivery from Carbon Gold is also very fast and efficient and I very much appreciate their friendly, personal approach.read more
I’ve been using this on my allotment since it first became available years ago. I use it in planting holes when... transplanting into the ground - with amazing results! Other plot holders who gave me seedlings were impressed by how healthy and productive my plants were compared to theirs. Now they’re using it too so we order in bulk. It has helped convert several people to organic growing - so that’s a double bonus!read more

I grow naturally with a no dig and intercropping method for strong, drought and disease resistant fruit, flowers and vegetables. Because I use lots of carbon gold for lush crops, I would prefer though to be able to buy large 50 kg bags of simple enriched carbon gold, a I used to do in the past, without the different products that now come with the bundle.read more
