You may be sick of hearing about our little allotment, however it is kind of tough, as I am so proud of what we've achieved!
(Sorry!)
So far we have purchased our greenhouse, (a whole £70, bargain or what!) built a shed and cold frame (at a grand total of £30) and purchased two pollytunnels. (thanks aldi, at £5.99 each)
We had seen a great tool for digging over the ground with interchangeable heads that another man at the allotment had been using and as we needed to by an automatic opener for the green house window began to look for one of those too.
In the garden centres the handle alone cost £10
With each head costing over £12!
With each head costing over £12!
So we brought our opener (£24) and tootled off home, popping into Lidl on the way.
And low and behold what did we find?
This;
Exactly what we had been looking at at a much more appealing price.
£12.99 to be exact!
So if you don't mind, I am off to the allotment for a little therapeutic digging.

i havent got the allotment this year :( as the person who owns it wanted it back. i'll have to plant some things in pots maybe...
ReplyDeleteI always used to grow things in pots and grow bags at home so this allotment malarky is all rather daunting at times.

We were gardening last week, cutting down trees and shrubs which have taken over the garden which we thought was low maintenance when we bought the house 8 years ago! We had to hire a chipper there was so much stuff, the whole lawn was covered.
ReplyDeleteAlways the way isn't it? I don't believe any garden is low maintenance. Ours is tiny and it still takes a lot if time if we want it to look nice.
