2022 - What I did today

I had a day off today and had such good intentions - lots of housework and gardening to be done. Alas, feeling a bit rough and worn out (I worked around 50 hours Monday to Thursday) so I got up late, did some washing up, tried (and failed) to make my oven work (new oven thermometer also broken, so it took a while to work out what was going on...), had some food, then had a four hour sofa nap! Whoops.

However, tomorrow I have a friend coming over for a catch-up. She's being extra cautious as she's a carer for a relative, so we'll probably sit outside. Then she's going to have a look at my electrics (she's an electrician) so I can get an idea of how much needs doing. After that, my brother is coming over and taking me on a compost buying trip so that I can get some beds started.

At the moment, B&Q is looking like the best bet (£10.40 for 100L peat-free compost) but my brother keeps trying to suggest places that may be cheaper. So far, Homebase looks like being £12 per 100L (on a buy 3x 50L bags for £18 offer) and Wilko's peat-free compost would also come to £12 per 100L but in 25L bags so more plastic per litre than the first two options.

I don't think any of the supermarkets have it in stock yet. Anyone know of any other good options? I looked into bulk delivery but the cost is not that different when you factor in the delivery fee (there is the benefit of there being less plastic if it comes in a single huge bag, but it would also be a massive amount of work trying to shift it from the driveway to the garden). I definitely only want peat-free which rules out a lot of the cheapest options.
