    I usually do several baskets and 50 odd pots, not hogging compost this year, what I canā€™t do I will do next year.Ā 
    Maybe @Andy19 would be kind enough to sell one or two to the people that canā€™t get any.Ā

    I do sell compost and grit to anyone that comes for plants ,baskets and pots or friends.

    Thatā€™s very kind of you then @Andy19
    I found a local chap who sells compost, it was a good transaction, he left it by the gate, I threw the money at him, I gave him a really good review on his FB Page, guess what heā€™s done now, put the price up, because people canā€™t get out to get it in the shops.Ā 
    Im not buying it from him anymore.

    I suggest anyone who needs compost get it now, as our first big GC Pennals is closing tomorrow.Ā

    Girls got me a voucher for Mother's Day, so that's me humped!Ā  :D
