    Like many on here, being in an at risk group, I am in lockdown for 3 months at least. As the planting and potting up time of year is upon us, I was really short of MPC. Luckily our local garden centre is doing local deliveries. I ordered on Wednesday and the bags of compost and sundries were delivered yesterday :dbgrtmb: Lucky me, as I understand some GCs are not taking any more orders. Anyone else having problems?
    Also is there no 2020 thread on MPC? It was a go to post every year for the last few years.

    I picked up some Miracle-gro from the Range earlier this week, 2x50l for £8, filled 5 more tubs so no chillies or toms wasted.

      I've had no trouble @HarryS . Still plenty of suppliers.... Wilkos, The Range, Poundland and B&Q for deliveries or click and collect.

          Got mine from Wickes @HarryS - they deliver for free if it's over £75. The quality is similar to last year's, not the best going but for the money it's OK for me.

            There are a few local GC’s advertising delivery of bedding plants and compost on our local FB page. I have 3 unopened bags at the moment so am Ok, but will be using them if I need to. They are charging £5 for 60L bag.
