Poly Cloches @ Poundland
« on: January 27, 2006, 14:33:18 »
I went into my local Poundland store yesterday and bought some Poly Cloches for a quid each. :o  Can't go wrong really at that price! ::)  Manager says they should be available at most stores from this weekend. ;D ;D

I got some a few weeks ago, doubt they'll last more than this season, but at £1.00 a pop you can't go wrong.  They look pretty decent from picture, although haven't unwrapped them yet.

Poundshop is rapidly becoming one of my favourite places !

They are excellent for the price, and Poundland has lots of bargains for the garden.

I bought a three last year and they've been fine - will use them again this year.  Also picked up a kneeling pad and garden canes, Certainly can't complain at the price. I've bought more expensive cloches in the past and these are definately comparable.  ;D


EILEEN.

I got some last year did a good job and the plants came on well. After the frost i cleaned them up and put them away out of the sun .I will be putting them out again soon . (Don't forget to block off the end's, or they will blow away and it helps to keep the heat in).  ;)

Hi all,  :D

Mine are now three years old with no problems. I hope to be using them in a few weeks.

Got some quite good ones last year for £4.99 at Wilkinsons, but will take a look in Poundland tomorrow.  £1 for cloches sounds a real bargain! busy_lizzie

I think that these are the ones from Poundland, but I can't check that they are exactly the same as mine are on the allotment. What do you think?  The bid is £7.50 + £2+ postage

Yep, they're the same as the ones I bought for a quid ::)  Dunno whether to stick them on eBay myself! ;D

Some people have more money than sense, at perhaps £10+ total cost via ebay, the recipients will be paying £7 per metre, since the cloches are only 1.5 metres long?
