Time for a step back for the future

I haven't bought any modules or seed trays in ages, as I have loads left from my first gardening craze a decade or so ago. Our council does a lot of recycling so my food waste has previously gone into municipal compost, but last spring I started composting at home (hot bin and wormery), and the compost for filling my raised beds is made from bracken and sheep's wool, which are waste products from farming in Cumbria.

I'm still buying plastic items where they're long-lived and other materials are either impractical or ruinously expensive, e.g. water butts, but I won't be buying any more single-use/short lifespan plastics. I'm undecided what to use in my new conservatory, as I need big containers for peppers, chillies and aubergines - ceramics look lovely but are very heavy and quite expensive!
