    As far as I'm concerned if you like plants and take an interest in them and similar for the environment you can be whatever you like; with the exception of being a white US citizen.

    Best supplier of compost 2026

    I use Clover, as @hailbopp suggested. It has peat in it. At the moment it's sold by 2 garden centres fairly local to me in South Norfolk. I'm happy with it.

    Portuguese Laurels problem

    Just one further thought @Selwynha, if you plan to dig up one of the plants to investigate, wait for the temperature to improve to avoid any further damage.
