I always take the view that there is no such thing as a free lunch. It looks like a act of desperation. Are they  in trouble?

i dont want to throw a spanner in the works but on the page where you give your details you have to choose a postage option , seeds are 95p but potatoes and fruit are £2.95 . Or have i got it wrong (again)

I got the link off the BBC Forum website on allotments.  And so far everyone has only paid 95 pence postage.

They are called loss leaders and supermarkets do it all the time.  If you are like me, you feel guilty just ordering the potatoes and order some seed too.  I order Danvers Half Long Carrots and some spring onion seed with mine.

Thank you very much for this tip off!  Have bought some too at 95p (and managed to resist temptation to buy anything else!!!).

Will pass on the message to my other friends.
