Funny that - the one in Taunton also used to be a C&As, must get in there and see if they have a gardening section

My local Wilkinsons has got rid of all the gardening stuff to make way for christmas, went in last week for a hoe to be told I'd have to wait until spring - Boo!

Evening all,

went to Wilkinsons today, at first could not find any garden stuff, the area had been taken over by Christmas stuff. Luckily we walked through the tills the all the garden stuf was in cages behind the tills :-)

We got a wheelbarrow for £9.99, was £20 and a few garden tools all half price. They will be be put to get use on on the lottie.

Those plastic ones are good value, the plastic will last about two seasons with a bit of care but then you can buy a heavier duty version.

We haven't been able to afford a heavier duty one this year but I did find replacement covers for all sizes starting from £3.99.

Where did you find your replacement covers, Earthbabe?

Mine's been going 3 or 4 years and the plastic is now completely embrittled and falling to bits. I line the bottom, under the bottom shelf, with those polystyrene trays that bedding plants come in to keep it a bit warmer for overwintering stuff. Another layer of them on their sides round the bottom edge too. I started trying to do it yesterday and the cover started to disintegrate everywhere

I found them in a garden centre in Calmore (near Totton) they are made by Gardman so should be nationally available. I bought a replacement plastic one which is starting to get holes in but is repairable and a fleece one.

What are you guys doing to your covers, have had one now for about 7 years and it's fine, give it a good scrub down a couple of times a year and haven't had any problems apart from one of the zips being a bit stiff!

The plastic's gone all brittle and started to split, especially where it sits on the frame and where the zips are stitched in. Serves me right for getting a cheap and nasty one in the first place - I guess the plastic isn't stabilised against UV

Have you ever thought of replacing the plastic covering with fine mesh net and using it as a small fruit cage.

Now that is a good idea. Maybe I'll just have to get another one...

Thanks DDL,dont go to the big smoke if i can help it!! Had no idea it had moved i thought it was further down out of town way. My sister going to town tomor so may ask her to pick me a couple up can you let me know where they were and what they looked like she is not green fingered and will probably bring me back a top or something!!

My OH works at the Cleveleys store, but if you go to the customer service desk in the Preston store they will be able to tell you if they have any left. Good luck. DDL
