You can buy compost in any gardening centre, but why not make it yourself?
This is really a very easy process, and as with most things, you can make it simple or complicated depending upon the time, energy and money you wish to spend.
Here are some general websites on composting :

Whether you want a small compost container,
a medium sized one
or a larger one ...
..... the easiest and simplest way to make your own compost is to use one of the many home composting bins available to the home gardener.
Here are some links that you can check for some examples :

And finally you can build a simple compost pile from scratch.
Compost piles don't always have to be contained. In my garden it's just piled up in a wild area at the bottom of our property.
You can also build a contained compost area very easily out of whatever materials you happen to have around. This one is just made out of wire fencing.
Here are some easy instructions for building a wooden compost bin, as well as what to put into it.
