I use loo roll cores. Especially for things that don't like their roots disturbing. Much better than those plastic ''root trainers''

I don't have any loo roll middles! Or at least, I could maybe rummage in the recycling bin and find 4!
I have some old lining (wall)paper, and some very cheap drawing paper on a roll from ikea. I might test them.

Our local council's magazine arrived today (a few less pages than normal). Regarding waste collections, it reads:
'Try to reduce the amount of waste you create (including garden waste) - and only put out bins if they are full.'
Besides having to constantly prune back the neighbours overgrowth which I mentioned previously, I have to pay £65 a year to have it collected. Sorry, if I've got to pay extra, I fully intend to use the service so I have no issues about putting out a full garden waste bin every fortnight.

Phil, that's not an option around here. 
There simply is no garden waste collection. Anyone who paid extra for a be second green bin can get a refund. Everyone else? Basically being told to suck it up, and they'll collect again one day.

I'm running out of windowsill space again. Somethings can go in bigger pots for a while and into the greenhouse but I think I'll have to get the next bit of raised bed built and filled and be brave and put stuff out.

I need to put my seedlings in bigger pots too but then will run out of windowsill space! I wish I had a greenhouse.

We’re still having our fortnightly garden waste collections.

No collections here. All recycling bar food waste was cancelled and whilst the others are now resumed/ resuming, brown bins are not yet. I've filled two (use the neighbour's, who have a bin but no garden as such). At least with the dry weather I've been able to leave the lids open to dry the contents and reduce volume. I can't take any to the coup, which I pass on the way to Big Shop, as it is shut. And my (not very) compost bin is full.
It's raining! Several hours of rain from yesterday afternoon. The ground did need it, but I'd be fine if it stopped now. My front grass has barely grown in a fortnight since cutting.

The cardboard inners from kitchen towel rolls are also good, cut into 3 (I use a bread knife) as compostable root trainers.
