got there at the crack of dawn yesterday, as did a few others.got the mini greenhouse which to put together in theory is simple as, in practice, it's not quite as easy but with a bit of filing and some judicious use of some sticky tape, it might hold together ! bit disappointed with it tbh, but what do you expect for 20 notes. had the added disadvantage of guests arriving before i'd finished it, so it's still sitting on the spare bed waiting to be completed. probably a good thing though as i'd nearly dismantled the whole thing and chucked it back in the car at one stage. ::)

I took a hacksaw to mine so I could lock the sides together - have also managed to pop out one of the polycarb sheets but nothing some araldite can't fix. It is very flimsy but I just wanted something I could dare leave at the lotties and which wouldn't break my heart (or spread glass all over) if the yobs visited.Now to work out where to put it! moonbells
Am thinking of taking my mini greenhouse back after reading this thread - haven't even opened the box yet. Wonder where I put the receipt :-\
I've had one for a couple of years; it does the job well, and I needed a quick and cheap replacement for my big cold frame after it was nicked. I did track that one down, and the thief was got rid of, but it was the wrong one. I think the guy probably did genuinely lose a similar one, and if so I think I know who took it. He was then told by the then committee that the one on my plot was his. First a pane of glass was mysteriously broken across, and he could identify it for sure by a 'very distinctive cracked pane'. Unfortunately by the time they reported it to the police, I'd already dumped the pane in question, as it was an obvious safety hazard. Then the story changed and it could be identified by a missing pane! The guy came down with the police and claimed to identify it, but they didn't believe him. Then he cut a hole in my fence and took it; a wheelbarrow went at the same time. I found it in his shed and reported him to the Council. I felt sorry for the guy as I felt he'd been manipulated into it, but I wasn't having that. So you see why I wanted a cheapo that nobody would want to nick! It does a good job every year, that's the main thing.
show us the hoe! :D
I can heartily recommend the tools as they've stood up to the abuse I've given them in the last two weeks while creating the beds.
