Shopping Annoyances Part 1::Peat Free Free

Tried to get some peat free or organic Grow Bags this week...could I get any...could I Bollo*!!...Tried B&Q, Tried Homebase, Tried 3 local garden centres (Worsley Hall, Broadoak Park, Linnyshaw)
then phoned Bents who said oh yes we have them.
Gues what...went all the way there & they didn't f**ing have em!...never ever going there again. (that's Bents if you missed that, the only restaurant with a garden centre attached - avoid if at all possible LOL!!!)

Ended up buying compost and using pots!

Is it because of short supply, the peat producers not really wanting to give up their market, or just that everyone now wants peat-free and I was just too late. Stocks of peat based bags where plenitful though...hmmm!
