Can't find them on the website. Especially interested in the seed bed protection tunnel. Have you got an url direct to them?

I see another trip to Lidl and Aldi coming up. Such "Bargins" are not to be missed.

I love bargains too but recall as a kid my grandfather saying you should buy the best tools you can afford and if you look after them they will outlast you. We still use some of his tools today.
I have heard tales of caution when using bargain tools as they may be more likely to snap or rust if cheaper materials are used in their manufacture. As far as tools go I reckon car boot sales are a fantastic bet as shed clearances (both legal or otherwise!!!) often turn out decent quality tools for next to nothing. Also,I don't like leaving anything valuable in the allotment shed.
For all the other bargains it's good to know about all those offers. Thanks for keeping us posed!

the offers shown on the website only go up to the 27th Feb (mondays deals) so I would think that tomorow when the deals for the 23rd Feb (this thur) are the current deals, a new tab will be added for the deals for 3rd Mar (next thur)

I found out about them from a leaflet I picked up instore yesterday

I'm going to buy the seed bed cover, could use as a mini polytunnel, if I cut it down.

Anyone know where there is a good deal on fencing? B&Q seem the best so far.

what type of fencing? Do you mean typical garden fencing- in which case I don't! If you mean post and rail or netting, then a visit to your local farm supplier will be much cheaper than B&Q.

Had not thought of farm supplies, thanks for that. Tried B&Q and local builders merchants but it was either crap or silly prices!

Went to Lidl today, just for a look - came back with two seed tunnels and a mini greenhouse (more like a cold frame really). OH went slightly off the head so quick as a flash it came to me, tell her the mini greenhouse (cold frame) is for our daughter, who, being 4 1/2 and within earshot quite rightly chipped in with "Yes mummy, and my daddy isn't getting a shot". Women !
