Tracie Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I thought it would be good to get a thread going with all the best special offers at local gardening centres, gardening websites etc. Over the summer Morrisons started to sell off their old flower buckets at 8 for 99p. Once you have drilled a few holes in the bottom, these are fab for growing a variety of plants - we grew cucumber plants in them over the summer! I popped into Morrisons yesterday and now they are selling the same buckets at 20 for 99p. Bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc55 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Lidls has got cheap gardening stuff on offer at the mo - the composter looks quite good value. Also Wyevale's garden centre are selling off their seeds for .25p a packet if anyone works / travels near to their locations (I went to the one in Halifax). Got over 50 packets of seed for £14 - real value over £120 (Bella Cucumber normally £3.99 on sale for .25p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strix Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I've just bought 75 citronella tea lights for 98p at woollies (ex-bigW), but I think we got the last ones. There's loads of other stuff they're trying to get shut of - like kettle barbecues for a fiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strix Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 does anyone know where i can get leylandii or fast growing conifers CHEAP. for use as a wind break on grazing land,looking at about 20-25. try laurel instead The big problem with the conifers is that they won't regrow if they are damaged (eg, by wind) but things like laurel, hawthorn (easily grown from cuttings) and pyracanthus do - and they don't harbour the nasties that damage our crops and lead to the necessity for hideous amounts of pesticides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
