    You are very good at selecting. I like your compost bins, I lust over that stepladder and am in awe of such a tidy potting space.

    Thankyou Coccinella. The tidy potting space is all my wife's doing. When she's finally planted up the baskets & pots I dismantle the staging to make way for the tomatoes, chillies & cucumbers.

    Your pic of the tripod ladder helped us to decide to get one too. Very useful bit of kit!

    Yes, money well spent @Bluejayway. The independent leg height adjustment is an absolute godsend.
