Dandy's AutumnMix Compost & Garden Mulch | Autumn PlantingThere's a quiet moment in the gardening year when summer's exuberance has peaked, the borders are looking ready for a sit down, and the soil itself is starting to think about going to sleep.

There's a quiet moment in the gardening year when summer's exuberance has peaked, the borders are looking ready for a sit-down, and the soil itself is starting to think about going to sleep. Autumn is when you give the garden back what it's given you all summer — a generous feed, a warm blanket, and some structure for next year. AutumnMix is exactly that: a properly thought-through autumn-planting compost and mulch in one, blended to nourish, drain and protect through the cooler months.

From Dandy's Topsoil, our trusted bulk-supply partners — specialists in topsoils, mulches, composts and garden aggregates. Available in seven different sizes from small handy bags right through to a full cubic-metre jumbo.

What's in it

AutumnMix is a properly balanced blend rather than a generic compost:

  • Premium organic compost — the base ingredient, providing the structure, organic matter and microbial life that healthy soil needs
  • Spent mushroom compost — nutrient-rich, calcium-bearing, and a properly traditional soil improver. Adds slow-release nourishment and helps lift heavy clay or sour ground
  • Sand — for drainage. Critical for autumn use: wet autumn soil that doesn't drain leads to rotting bulbs and waterlogged roots, and the added sand prevents that
  • Bark fines — for soil texture and slow breakdown into longer-term organic matter
  • Slow-release plant food — a 6-month feed worked through the mix, providing steady nutrition right through winter and into spring

It's the kind of blend you'd put together yourself if you had the time, the suppliers, and the strong back — or the kind of thing a working gardener will recognise as a proper considered mix rather than a cheap fill.

What it's for

AutumnMix is specifically formulated for September-to-December garden work. It does three quite different jobs:

  • Autumn planting medium — for bulbs (the biggest seasonal use), winter bedding, shrubs going in for spring establishment, and any new planting that needs to settle through the winter
  • Border mulch — spread 5–10cm thick over existing borders to insulate roots through winter frosts, suppress winter weeds, and gradually feed the soil as it breaks down through the season
  • Soil improver for new beds — mixed into existing topsoil when preparing new beds for spring planting. Improves structure, drainage, and fertility in one go

The autumn timing is genuinely important. Spring compost mixes are typically higher in nitrogen for leafy growth; AutumnMix is balanced for cold-weather use, where you want slow-release nutrition, frost protection, and steady soil improvement rather than a quick green flush. Right blend for the season.

Where to use it

  • Around bulb plantings — daffodils, tulips, alliums, crocus, snowdrops. Mix a generous handful into each planting hole; mulch over the top after planting
  • On winter-bedding beds — wallflowers, violas, pansies, ornamental kale — a top dressing keeps roots warm
  • Around newly-planted shrubs and trees — particularly autumn-bare-root plants, where the slow-release feed supports establishment over winter
  • As a border mulch — an annual autumn mulch is one of the genuine garden labours that pays back twenty times over in soil quality and weed suppression
  • Mixed into vegetable plot soil — particularly for overwintering crops like garlic, broad beans and autumn-sown onions, or to enrich beds ahead of spring sowing
  • For raised-bed top-ups — raised beds settle each season and benefit from a generous autumn addition of properly balanced compost

Top tip: mix in your season's fallen leaves for added composting power. The leaves break down into the AutumnMix gradually through winter, adding leaf mould's particular soil-building benefit and quietly turning your garden waste into more growing medium.

Choosing your bag size

Available in seven sizes to suit different gardens and access situations:

  • Jumbo Bulk Bag — approximately 1000 litres (one cubic metre) — the largest, and the genuine best-value per litre
  • Standard Bulk Bag — approximately 750 litres — the size most builders' merchants use
  • Half Bulk Bag — approximately 500 litres
  • 40 × 25-litre Handy Bags — 1000 litres in carry-friendly bags
  • 20 × 25-litre Handy Bags — 500 litres in handy bags
  • 10 × 25-litre Handy Bags — 250 litres
  • 5 × 25-litre Handy Bags — 125 litres — the smallest, for a single mulching session or a few raised beds

The bulk bags are properly the best value if you have space to receive a pallet and access for it to be dropped. The handy bags are the answer if you have access difficulties — a narrow path, steps, an upstairs flat — since each 25-litre bag can be carried by hand. The 25-litre handy size is also useful for small projects (a single raised bed, a row of containers) where a bulk bag would be wasteful.

About Dandy's

Dandy's are our trusted bulk-supply partners — specialists in topsoils, mulches, composts and garden aggregates, supplied direct in bulk and handy bags. We stock their range because they do the unglamorous bulk products properly: well-screened materials, honest descriptions, sensible bag sizes for both serious gardeners and small projects.

A small thought: there's something properly satisfying about an autumn mulching session — the borders tucked under a dark blanket of fresh compost, the smell of organic matter in the cooling air, the knowledge that you're investing in next spring while the days still hold a bit of warmth. AutumnMix doesn't make autumn gardening glamorous (it's still wheelbarrows, still bent backs, still the steady satisfying labour). But it does make it properly effective.

Powerful Little Book
Format: Kindle
I enjoyed this book so much that I have the kindle version and the paperback. Sometimes its hard to pray or I don’t know how to pray but I can grab this book and chose the topic I need in that moment. If I am out an about then I pull it up on the kindle app on the phone or iPad. It can be used daily to start your day. Lady’s she even includes a decree/prayer for energy and to keep our hormones balanced!!! It’s the very first decree/prayer in the book. For the end of the day there are decrees on restful sleep and visions and dreams from God. You can start your day with this book and end your day with it. Anything that pops up during the day that overwhelms you then this book probably has the decree you need in that very moment. I really enjoy that it is written in such a way that I am not praying alone but praying in agreement with others. Where two or more agree on anything it will be done (paraphrased Matt 18-19) I can almost hear Brenda praying these with me sometimes. There is something very comforting knowing that you are not praying these alone. This book has also helped/encouraged me to start writing my own scripture base decrees.

I highly recommend this book. If you aren't sure how to pray a PRAYER for a specific area in your life or a loved ones life. This is the book for you.
Format: Kindle
I rated it 5 stars because thru my whole life there have been situations PRAYER was needed. I didn't know how to word them. I would just say GOD please help or save my family members, pets, friends, neighbors and myself. From death, hurts, harms and from the enemy. I glorify and thank GOD for this book of decrees. There might be about 100 decrees. Each section is the title, the decree Brenda and others prayed for and are anointed by GOD, scripture from bible, then word of encouragement that gives you examples or what to do. In the word of encouragement it tells you how to decree it for yourself. So it's 2 decrees at the same time. The one Brenda an others prayed for and the one you decree yourself in JESUS name. AMEN. Remember where more than one pray for the same thing, believe it and it's ours. I will continue to read a few each day. It fills my soul with cheer and joy. GOD bless you. GOD is good. He created this decree book thru his servant for me and others who might need guidance in how to pray and decree.
