Dalefoot Compost Arrives

My Dalefoot delivery came today. Having heard at the Garden Press Event that I intend to repeat by previous grow off between Dalefoot Potting Compost & westland New Horizon BIO3 Tomato Planter in 2021. This year it will be Dalefoot Tomato Compost V westland Big Tom Planter Compost & Big Tom Feed, they kindly supplied me with some bags of free compost to play with. 

The tracking app was so cool I could watch the driver making his way towards my location and I could see how many stops were still in front of me.  

I updated the app and couldn't find him! and that was because he was actually dropping off my compost on the doorstep!

So one by one, I added the bags of compost to my boot to be taken down to my allotment in readiness for the delivery and erection of my new Forest Green Potting Shed which is to follow later this week. 

A big thank you to Dalefoot Composts for supplying the compost for the 2023 Tomato Grow Off and some additional bags for me to trial and review. Information and links to the Dalefoots' web site for each of the compost I received can be found below:-
