Melcourt Reviews 4

Subject: The gold standard for my Roses and Magnolias — 3 years of consistent quality!

Review:

I’ve been using Melcourt Pine Mini Chips Bark (60lt) for three years in a row now, and I wouldn't switch to anything else. Although I usually purchase it through Amazon from the seller Suregreen Ltd, my praise is for the exceptional quality Melcourt maintains.

These mini chips are perfect for mulching around my roses and magnolias in my Middlesbrough garden. The bark is consistently clean, well-graded, and provides excellent moisture retention—it's particularly effective for container gardening to prevent soil from drying out.

Over the last three years, I’ve seen a noticeable difference in how healthy and protected my plants stay throughout the seasons. It doesn't just work well; it looks professional and tidy, too. If you’re looking for a high-quality, long-lasting mulch that truly supports plant health, Melcourt is the gold standard.

Highly recommended for any serious gardener!

If you want glass and plastic is your compost and growing media buy this awful product!

Shame that such an apparently reputable supplier can bulk out so called ‘high quality’ products with municipal green waste that is riddled with plastics and all sort of unknown rubbish.

It’s greenwashing and disappointing on all levels - if I could give no stars I would.

I contacted the company about some damp bags of Melcourt Sylvagrow compost I bought from a local supplier. I was concerned that some of the nutrients might have been lost due to the dampness. The company was incredibly thorough in their response which eventually resulted in them testing a sample that they requested. Everything was fine with the results. I have to say that I was delighted with the way the company dealt with my initial email and would highly recommend them and their products.

I had a bad batch of compost, Melcourt explained the issue was with the Garden Centre holding on to old stock (more than 6 months from manufacturing) and storing incorrectly (outside), which enabled me to get full refund from the Garden Centre.

As a gesture, Melcourt sent some gift vouchers.

Having heard how some compost companies just deny there is an issue - and consequently lose their clients business - I was really impressed with how Melcourt handled this,I've since bought more of their compost from a different supplier which is the usual top quality.
