I got some pond stuff yesterday in Lidl

Been there, done that, got the strawberries to prove it!

btw their are two early, two mid season and two late season strawberries in the packs........they are named varieties as well, but I can't remember what they are as I have a memory like a sieve!
What was I on about........Ohh yes, strawberry plants!

I love Aldi!!! All the trees and fruit bushes we bought a few weeks ago are sprouting away very happily, I can't wait to make loads of jams and chutneys!

this maybe a silly question, but are lidl and aldi not one in the same, name changing if you are north or south in uk???

No they are different shops, keep meaning to go in and have a look, we have an Aldi in Melksham, never been in it.

Separate
We have both. Aldi have cheap figs 250g for 69p... I love figs (this is fruit not plants).

Lots of good gardening offers.
Their chocolate is nice. And cheap.

Their offers on nails (subscribe to their email letters ) are superb.

Shows B&Q up as profiteers..imo.

my woolworths have half priced most af the bare root stock.
i got a pomegranete for 2.99
and 2 rhubarb crowns for 1.99

sorry there is no pound signs somebody's been playing with the key board.

Well, I am hating Aldi. I biked 8 miles to get some of the strawberries that a Grape said were instore. They weren't
I got a leaflet from Lidl too, advertising their running gear, so I toddled off to the local branch ... no running gear. No nothing really.
Same thing happens with Somerfield, who NEVER have the special offers that their leaflet advertises.

NSB / NOG - whereabouts is our local lidl ?????
i know about aldi in selsdon - is there another one anywhere nearby?

I got three of them plum trees from aldi when they were in, but with one thing leading to another they are still in the packets not been watered or anything and they are coming into leaf now. so maybe I should get them into the ground.

Cheers Chris

On most supermarket websites front page there's a 'store locator' link - normally put in your postcode or town and up pops a map...

Lidls in down bottom right of the page, aldi's is along the top menu bar. Sign up to be sent their newsletters by email, then you won't miss the 'special offers'.

I've just come back from Lidl in Halesowen, W.Mids, and they had loads of gardening things in. - clothes, tools ,compost, plant food, lawn airaters (? don't think thats how you spell it , but you know what I mean ! ), power sprays and lots more. I bought a gardening gilet ( £6.99 )to go with the padded knee trousers I got from there a couple of weeks ago, and a 2.5kg. box of tomato plant food for £2.49. I'm a bit of a newbie, so not quite sure what to do with it yet, but am sure i'll be on here asking your advice!!!

margo

cheers SBP - i got so excited at the prospect of cheap seeds i forgot the flaming obvious!

I got smeof those padded knee trousers, they're grt I wore them yesterday when i went on a metal detecting rally,( yes thats my other hobby) fields were muddy, it was snowing ,raining and very very windy but found them warm ,waterproof , and grt for the knees,would recommend them to all outdoor folk

Has anybody tried the seeds from lidl? do they produce?? they seem so cheap that it makes me wonder???

Hi loopylu001

I got the seeds from lidl, they definately produce. I brough some of the flower seeds, put them in a cold greenhouse last week and some have already come up.

I also got a bargain in Adli, crabapple tree for 50p, Ive planted it but will have to see if they had already killed it, but for 50p, you've got to try

The Lidl is the old Safeways in Beckenham High Street.

They have demolised the Cunningham PH in New Addington and Lidl and Aldi are trying to get planning permission for the site but Cohen's who already have a shop there want another so are disputing the planning.

There is also a Netto at Farnbrough which is not that far.
