In almost all of the cryptic crosswords I have set (and am currently setting), I find myself using container and insertion mechanisms in overabundance. Is this a phenomenon faced by others more experienced in the craft?

as usual lovely grid, was unfamiliar with 4D though, so padded my time by 10 minutes along with 7A. Favourites were 1A & 3D!

Just wanted to say lovely clue on Minute Cryptic today (02/13)! I'm sure a lot of negative feedback from the community was received on Tuesday, so I wanted to counteract that with a bit of positivity. Looking forward to more clues from you!
