| Anyone like to hazard a guess as to how much 40l of bark chippings weigh? Don't want any of the offspring to collapse beetle-on-it's-back stylee on the way home... |

| Does anyone know if Lidl have already had blueberry bushes in this year. I missed them last year, and haven't noticed them on sale so far in 2008.

| Is that across Europe or just the UK? Apparently the OH saw something about folding wheelbarrows there this week (Thursday specials) - he said it to me last night and then groaned as her realised what he had said!! I thought about the fruit trees, but there is local authority hosing overlooking our plot so OH reckons no point in putting those in (and we are due to be removed at some, as yet unspecified, date in the future for the LA to build a road on the plots). But mini greenhouse, bark chippings, compost all sound good to me!! |

| Lidl - air miles As with all Lidl products do please check how many airmiles this stuff has done. We recently had a Lidl open near us and I've been in it a couple of times but I'm always astounded by where the products have travelled from. We live by the sea and yet they had frozen Lobster all the way from Norway!!! Carbon footprint folks  |

| Sorry SMS6 its one of my pet bugbears at the minute - its being turned into a simplified cure-all, I certainly think people should be aware of the effects of say, buying lobster from Norway, but there's a bit more too it.... I was looking at price quotes for a French caravan holiday with (I think it was Siblu - might not have been tho') and on the checklist at the end of the booking process I could tick a box for linen rental, etc or a box for carbon footprint offset. They would charge me a £10 (or was it £15) and said they'd plant a tree in France for me. I felt much better knowing my responsibilities could be bought so cheapily!

| A lot of the products in Lidl come from Germany which is a lot closer than most cheap goods you see which have generally come all the way from China, so I justify it as the lesser of two evils! I may be tempted to get a plum tree although I have absolutely nowhere to put one - but that's never stopped me before. Lidl also have lots of garden tools on offer from 3rd March so I might just make a couple of visits!

How much salad/veg do I have to eat before I can have pudding? Can I pay someone else to eat my salad/veg for me?

| Cocoa Bark Dangerous To Dogs! I thought I should warn people, now its go grab a bargain time, that cocoa bark has the same poisonous substance to dogs as chocolate. Its smell encourages the dog to eat it, and in excess it can be fatal. I work in a vets, and have heard of an adult Weimarner dying as a result of eating it. Other barks are fine, just not cocoa. |
