There are regular compost goveaways (hah that's a good typo) using the compost from the London waste centre.

Even better, I've recently found out that there's a permanent giveaway in Camden , at the Alara centre. in Kings Cross. Not sure how it works, their hours etc so give them a call. It's the composted garden, parks and food waste from all the North London boroughs. Brilliant for opening up soil, but it does need some topsoil mixed in as otherwise it drains too fast. You could use loads of this stuff plus a bit of topsoil for your raised beds. You can buy topsoil by the tonne from eg Wickes, not cheap but it comes to your door off a lorry in a metre-cube sack.

Hi

We are in the process of some major work on our garden and need to level a section, we are told the top soil is too good to put in a skip! Please let me know if you are still in need of some soil, you are welcome to come and have a look before deciding if you want it.
