Back in 2020, a combination of the coronavirus outbreak and good weather turned the British public into green-fingered gardeners.
Now here we are, 12-months on and things are looking very different, but our love for our gardens remains unchanged.
With lockdown restrictions soon beginning to lift across the UK, and spring on its way, we're about to spend a lot of time in our gardens - so now is the time to tend to those beds and create the most hospitable environment for our blooms, vegetables and plants.
If you’re keen to spend the last few months of lockdown creating an oasis in your garden, then using compost (made with materials such as leaves, shredded twigs and kitchen scraps from plants) is essential.
If you don’t fancy making your own, then scroll down and shop these compost deals while they’re still available.
Trust us, your fledgling vegetable patch will thank you later.
