A family-run business making Premium compost the natural way.
Set in the rolling hills of Dorset, just outside Beaminster, Chedington Compost is a family-run business producing premium compost, organic manure, mulch and wood chippings for gardens, allotments and landscaping projects across the South West.
We are passionate about keeping our compost miles low. Everything that goes into our products is sourced locally, from manure and green waste to wood chippings from nearby tree surgeons. This supports our local community, helps reduce our environmental impact, and ensures consistent, high-quality results.
The Team
As a small, family-run business, we believe good compost starts with good relationships.
Scott and Alice are your main points of contact and are happy to answer any questions, offer product advice, or help arrange delivery. We value the trust our customers place in us and take pride in offering a friendly, personal service alongside a product we genuinely believe in.
Our Story
In July 2024, Scott and Alice took over the business from The Chedington Estate, continuing a legacy of responsible, sustainable compost production at North Buckham Farm. With new machinery, modern equipment and a dedicated team, we are proud to offer compost that truly delivers, helping your plants grow stronger, healthier and more vibrant.
Unlike mass-produced green waste compost, ours is nutrient-rich, carefully turned, graded to remove clumps, and regularly tested for nutrient levels. It takes time, care and attention to make, but that is what makes the difference.
Our Process and Premium Products
Our Process
Our composting process combines traditional methods with modern care and testing.
Manure is gathered from farms on the Chedington Estate and nearby, then undergoes a high-temperature aerobic composting process that deodorises, sterilises and stabilises the material. After maturing naturally over several weeks and months, it is blended with other locally sourced organic materials to create our range of premium composts and mulches.
Every batch is graded, turned, and tested to ensure consistency and performance. The result is compost that makes a noticeable difference in your soil.
From start to finish, every bag of Chedington Compost represents the best of Dorset’s land. Carefully made, locally sourced and proudly premium.
