Today was one of those days that had me smiling all the way home,..i had received my vouchers from my local Supermarket and decided to cash them in for groceries,..well help towards my bill. 23 Euro==$30.2194. ( photo / image / picture from Philip Nulty's Garden ) My eyes bulged when i spotted the offer of two 75 Litres bags of Potting Compost,..(4 Stone Bags) for just 12 Euro,..$15,..now that is cheap and even better getting it on my vouchers and having 11 Euro,..$14.4528 left over. Two 75 Litre bags=two 4 Stone bags. ( photo / image / picture from Philip Nulty's Garden )
That's lovely! If my maths are correct... that would be 144 pounds total weight of potting compost. If my maths are incorrect, I'll take a red mark against it.
As i give away a lot of plants and rose bushes i run out of potting compost each year,..this lot will keep me going for a long spell,..2 bags each weighing 75 Litres in total 150 Litres,.. is equal to two 4 Stone bags each bag containing 56 Pounds grand total in Pounds is 112 Pounds,..i am going to award someone a red mark,..thinking my maths are correct,.. .
Seeing it likely that you are much closer to English type measure, I'll take that. OOhhhhh! That's gonna leave a mark!
Not to worry,..between Litres and Stones,Meters and Inches everyone gets confused,..i have had many a red mark. ===================================================== Yes Eileen,..sitting pretty now,.. and it rained all day so the Bales of Potting Compost is still untouched.
Couldn't have happened to a better person--lots of potting compost for a good cause! Congratulations. I sure wish some of our stores had such rebates.
Well done. I also had a profitable day but not sure how much though. Had two photos in a magazine, received a copy today. The article was about herons. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
Great Bargin for you, Philip!. Now about that weight...it really depends on how much moisture is in the mix. I find that the more moisture in my mix the heavier it is
Hi Kildale, congrats on getting your two pictures in a magazine,..i would be over the moon about something like that,..i hope they publish more of your pictures,..knock on wood you get more published and a nice cash reward. ===================================================== Hi Carolyn, they sell the bags sealed and the compost is fairly dry,..but still each weighed 4 Stone,..heavy enough to lift.
Hi Philip Nulty, The gloss has worn off now about being published, must be over 400 now. Would love to do another book though of all my own photos.
