    What's your weather like 2026

    Cloudy with some gaps in it, but it's still dry. A breeze blowing 10c.

    Recommendations for quality compost?

    Any recommendations for a good quality compost for growing vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers? Last year was a disaster and the compost I purchased was infested with fungus gnats.
