Request: Compost (Growing Food) (Bellevue EH7) Hello, I have just started to tend to a garden and am hoping to find some compost for a raised bed growing food (mainly - vegetables, berries and herbs). The bed is 8 inches deep and about the size of a double mattress. It is semi-filled with twigs and branches and I think it will require about 15-20 small garden sacks to complete. Here is a rather big 'ask'. I only have access to a bicycle for transport and if it's more than a rucksack full, I would need the majority of the compost delivered. I am most happy to load/unload everything myself and have loading bay parking in front of the stairwell door in N.E./Central Edinburgh. Many thanks for any compost that you may be able to offer.

To do this I would need amounts (up to) of; white emulsion (5L), white gloss (2L), black gloss (2L), grey undercoat (1L), white undercoat (1L). I also need some wood filler, rot treatment, and decoration tools that would help. Many thanks

Request: Li-On 18650 Batteries (Part Used). (Bellevue EH7) Withdrawn Hello, I'm hoping to find a few 18650 (High Drain) LI-on batteries. They are the most common Li-On cell found in all kinds of larger batteries, like e-bikes and also used in old vaping devices. They can be dangerous if over or under charged so I am looking for some that still have a little charge in them. My old stock of them are now unusable. Please let me know if you have any you no longer need. Many thanks.

Request: Calor Gas Bottle and/or Calor Regulator (Bellevue EH7) Hello, I'm hoping to convert a dual burner camping stove to Calor Gas. For this a Calor Gas regulator and 15kg/7kg Calor Gas bottle are required, (empty/part filled, not full, as I will need to transport them with a bicycle). The stove is a Campingaz, 'Camping Chef' which currently takes Campingaz 904/907 bottles, which would also be very useful at the moment. Many thanks to anyone who has these items spare.

Request: Winter/Summer Tent (Pilrig EH6) Withdrawn WANTED: A two (or one) person tent. Hello, I'm hoping to find a two person tent for transport on my bike, (so nothing too heavy would be appreciated). It's for an upcoming cycling trip this summer, but something that's also useable for winter camping, (at a push a one person tent would also do). Many thanks in advance.

Request: Cycling Trip Computer (GPS) (Pilrig EH6) Withdrawn Hello, I'm hoping to find a Bicycle GPS Trip Computer, battery life is not so important - as I'm often cycling in the City limits for 4 hours or less. If you have a spare older one it would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

Request: Unglazed ceramic plant pot (Pilrig EH6) Withdrawn Hello, I'm hoping to find an unused, medium to large sized unglazed, ceramic plant pot with its base. I'd like to use it for filtering water, hence needing it to be unused. I'm pretty sure it's a difficult thing to find even here. If you have an unwanted one please let me know. Many thanks in advance.

Request: A box of old half used candles (Pilrig EH6) Withdrawn Hello, I would like to find some candles. They don't need to be new, even old used ones or a box of stubs. Medium thickness of even quite large ones would be best. Ideally I'd like to collect quite a few at a time from someone who has some they don't need any more. Many thanks
