Horse and Chicken Manure / Mushroom Compost
Our Manure is a mix of well rotted horse and chicken muck; it also goes by the name "mushroom compost" as, before it gets to us for bagging or blending, it serves a term growing mushrooms (you won't get loads of mushrooms in your borders, fear not).
We do three sizes of bulk bag; a jumbo bag contains approx 1000ltrs (one cubic metre) of manure, a standard bulk bag contains about 750ltrs (same as most builders merchants, other topsoil suppliers) and a 500ltr bag which is basically a half filled cubic metre bag!
Small bags of manure are 50ltrs and the perfect option if you want a small quantity of manure or if you have access issues and will have to carry the topsoil through your house or over any walls etc.

Please note: We do not chemically treat our products for weeds. Weeds thrive in warm, wet weather and especially in very fertile soils and composts like our own. Although every care is taken to remove weeds during our screening process we can not guarantee that weed seeds are not present in the soil or compost that you receive. To keep your topsoil organic we suggest pulling up common weeds, when and if they appear, instead of using chemical weed-killers. Or purchase some of our anti-weed prevent membrane and some gravel or mulch, for an easy weed-free garden!
What you have ordered, and whereabouts you are, will determine the method of delivery, as well as the cost. When you enter your delivery address at checkout a haulage rate bespoke to your order will be generated.
In general - if you live in or near Chester, we'll deliver to you ourselves with a HGV crane, if you live elsewhere in the UK we'll use a pallet network who will use a manually operated pallet truck to move the pallet of bag(s) to the kerbside or onto a level, solid surface such as a tarmac drive (not gravel or grass sorry).
If you're ordering goods tipped loose in bulk then an 8 wheeler HGV tipper will drop it off. If you have any questions or if you have tight or restricted access, just give us a call on 01244 257584.
Please note small items valid for free delivery will be shipped with a 48 hr courier or with Royal Mail second class service.
Here at Dandy's we often get asked to help work out quantities needed for topsoil, bark, and gravel.
Here are some quantity calculators to give you a helping hand, please note though these are just estimates and of course may not be exact - we advise you to under order so that you can always order more if you need to!
Garden Lawn Turf
Length (m) X Width (m) = amount of rolls needed. We advise that you order 10% extra so that you have plenty for offcuts.
Crusherrun
Use the Gravel Calculator then multiply by 1.25 (= tonnes per inch)
Natural Stone Paving
Length (m) X Width (m) = m2 you need. Our packs are 18.9m2.
