Today's IN was a part bag of Westland Rose planting & Potting Mix (was 60l).
It wasn't far from home and I did think about walking down for it - but, since I had no idea how much was left in the bag, how heavy it was and it would be uphill to carry it, I took the easy option and went by car! For once, it was the right decision. The bag weighed a "ton", I could hardly lift it up - then I found out why - it was wet, very wet - and there was a hole in the bottom of the bag. As I picked up the bag, clutching it for a grip, like a bagpipe player, the dirty water oozed out, all over my legs - and it was smelly! I staggered back to the car with it and heaved it into the back, onto some coffee sacks that I collected a few weeks ago, Fortunately, I always have a waterproof sheet down in the car for when the dogs are with me so no damage will have been done. Hope its worth the effort - haven't looked at it yet!
