So do Lidl (or anywhere else for that matter) sell a seriously cheap crab apple-tree? I've just seen photos of one which someone bonsai'd. Gorgeous - got to have a go.Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

I ruined a brand new pair of jeans with just a little bit of mud (not even Vanish will shift it ... I think Cillit B@ng would just dissolve them).Originally posted by shirlthegirl43 View PostAfter wrecking 3 pairs of jeans in the garden last year I can see the value of the dungarees - to wear over regular jeans. Has anyone tried a pair - what are they like?
I got a pair of Gap denim dungies from Oxfam which are the bees knees (and a bit trendier than the Lidl Heidi ones). And a floral Cath Kidston style pinny to go over regular clothes if i don't have my dungies on (vanity on an allotment, I ask you)

Please ignore the above, I've just spoken to a bonsai expert and to grow a crab apple in this form requires cuttings as commercial trees are grafted.Originally posted by bluemoon View PostSo do Lidl (or anywhere else for that matter) sell a seriously cheap crab apple-tree?

I purchased a pair and had on hell of a row with the manager.....
But he relented and let me have the Polish girl of the till for an extra �10.
So my digging is sorted this season.My phone has more Processing power than the Computers NASA used to fake the Moon Landings

�39.99 to buy, �40.00 to rent for one day. However, the Lidl thingy is electric, not much help on an allotment with no leccy. Having said that my son (leccytrician) says he can get me a (silentish) generator to run it. So do I trust my son to get the generator ( have to say he's a typical unreliable artisan) or do I just accept that I have to dig the lottyOriginally posted by OverWyreGrower View PostWe spotted the Lidl gardening bargains in my mums local paper last night and Mr OWG conceded that a cultivator-thingy-machine would indeed be most handy, especially since just to hire one costs an arm and a leg here!
