Bunnings sure aren't suffering from the financial crisis

[gemfyre]

I think everyone went, "Hey, nice weekend! Let's do some outside work!" and the proceeded to head for Bunnings for supplies. Queued for 10-15 minutes at the checkouts.

Brought home 9 types of herb/salad leaf (hopefully they'll all survive this time), some Charlie Carp fertiliser, a shitload of potting mix (overestimated how much I'd need this time instead of underestimated, which I suppose is preferable), and a block of mulch.

Everything is now potted and fertilised and ALL my potted plants now have a layer on mulch on them too.

I forgot to get sage, I need a sage plant.

I DID get - Coriander, Flat-leaf Parsley, Basil, Perpetual Spinach, Rocket, Thyme, Oregano, Butter Lettuce and Dill.

dad still maintains that the best potting mix is either go to the tip or wait until the council mulches some trees (most tips do free mulch, like ours, thought atm it is a little green) then put it in a bucket or tub with a bit of sand and then fill it with water. make sure the water goes through. put a lid on and then wait a week and then use it. when you pot with it, put some more sand in at the top. the longer you leave it the better it is and it is better thna giving bunnings money.

which reminds me, I have to sort out my seeds to start seeding soon.

Yep. In a boom, we make a killing in trade sales to builders, in a bust - everyone wants to DIY to save money.

We also recommend owing both a lake and a convertible...
