+1. That's what I do.

Ideally large expanded polystyrene blocks, like from around a new telly or similar.
Also helps to reduce frost damage to the planter, not​ so much wet compost to freeze.

Thanks for all suggestions. I did think about polystyrene. It's having it when you need it! Comes in bulk with TV's etc, no where to store it, so you dispose of it, doh! Wonder if Curry's might have some??

Reminds me of something my dad used to say, bless him,  "You never know when it might come in handy". Probably why I'm such a hoarder by nature, but after a few house moves, I'm becoming more "just buy it when you need it". I've spent hours in the past searching for some item that I knew I had somewhere - could have just gone and bought it afresh in much less time and frustration, ha ha. Lessons in life, eh! :doh:

I've just dumped some polysty from around a new dishwasher.....ideal.

Try your dump/tip...sorry, I mean household Recycling centre  :signLOL:
Or in the skips around the back of Currys/PCW/Argos etc...
Hours of fun!
