What is the real question?
If you haven't got your own compost, you need to buy it.
If you can't get a tonne bag delivered, you need to get it in 40 or 50 litre bags
You can buy compost, soil improver, bark chippings, any kind of mulch you like, online or in garden centres or B&Q etc...

If you can get used ground coffee from local coffee shop can make a very good mulch. Usually they have loads and happy to give it for free. No weeds germinate in it and it will feed the soil over winter.

How do people mulch?
I've got quite a few beds I want to mulch this year. I've already raided my compost bin, so that's out. I've got a half bag of strulch, which tbh I don't actually like because of the look, smell, and the way it blows all over the shop. But I'll use in spots I want weed suppressant.
So where do I get something? I think having a ton bag delivered will be firmly vetoed.
Also what about things like forgetmenots? And small bulbs - is there such a thing as too much mulch that will suppress them?
