As part of an ongoing analysis of what we save by growing our own throughout 2021. We will see on a weekly basis what we have harvested, how much that would cost if we bought from a shop and how much we have spent. So without much fuss lets get into this weeks figures

This brings the total for the year to £10.41 of economy food price and £15.42 of premium cost food.,
But what have we spent this week
What have we spent this week?
| What have we bought? | How much did this cost? |
| Seed compost 4 bags | £11.96 |
| 4 100litre bags of peat free multi purpose compost | £39.96 |
As you can probably already tell we have spent quiet a bit of money this week in stocking up our compost. I didn't want to get in the situation I found myself in last year of needing some compost and not being able to get any. This year I have stocked up in advance. I should add that the seed ompost was half price. I do love a bargain.
This week we have spent in total 51.92 and for the year so far £76.07.
I know what you mean about stocking up on compost as last year I nearly missed out as we went into lockdown.
