Allotments 4 All

There are some plants I would like to get from my pond that I can not buy from a local garden center.
For example Amphibious Bistort Bareroot (Persicaria Amphibia)
There are quite big diferences in prices between 2 suppliers
£1.8

or
£3.95

I can not see any difference, any recommendations about which supplier to choose?

Going into hospital tomorrow for a total knee replacement. Hope they have a bed for me and don't cancel.  It will be good to be out of pain once it's healed and I may be able to do a bit more gardening.

MORRISONS have  70 ltr Richmore Multipurpose compost on offer this weekend :
3 x 70 litre bags for £9 .
These are very compressed and weighty!
Doubtlessly green waste based, (no peat!), dark and crumbly, with nutrient added.
It may not be the best but its plenty good enough for bulking out  well rotted horse manure to make a satisfactory medium for starting beans, potting on tomatoes and providing a host of patio tubs for all bedding. Mine will have some sharp sand added.
Much better substance than 'growbags' of my experience.
