@charlesdowding Hoping for some advice - struggling to find organic and peat free potting mix to buy in large quantities - any thoughts? We don't have our own compost set-up up and running yet... Thanks!

@alixnathan A good old fashioned cold room built into the side of a hill - the natural fridge of olde ! Ideal for storing veg and preserves throughout the year. Yet another small step towards self-sufficiency!
