Thanks Bill, great find! I'll be down there on Thursday to nab myself one of those 3 tiered greenhouses, down at my local garden centre they're 20 quid! :)

Do these need to go against a wall? If I used guy ropes to hold it like a tent with pegs etc. would it work or end up on the next lottie..

They come with four steel pegs, and side ropes for secure ground fixing so I think they can go anywhere. I'm guessing a nice big gust of wind will have it flying into the next lottie though! Maybe weigh it down with stones if possible??

My local Aldi (Gloucester) had several of these items in already today. I bought some of the pots in trays and was tempted by the greenhouse but I already have 2 of those!!

I paid £3.99 for those windowsill propagators last year at a Garden Centre. :o Definitely down to aldi to pick up some of those tomorrow - they are brilliant

Don't bother with the bird table - very flimsy and the screws with mine were so cheap about half of the heads stripped before I'd got them screwed home. I ended up using a lot of nails & a big hammer & it's fine ( if a bit wonky), but there are better options about.

Have lots of other bits & pieces for the garden & been happy with them & resisting the temptation to go back for another look.

Cheers

I bought several packs of the fruit bushes earlier - looks like they are thicker than many of the other cheap bushes being offered.

Went to Aldi today and bought some of those seeds pots on a carrier thingie. I didn't see the mini greenhouses. Probably just as well as hubby would have said I had lost my marbles. ::)
First time I've been. Had to wait till hubby was free so he could use his sat nav. I won't go ANYWHERE I don't know, as I panic like crazy, if I get lost. :'(

Chris Graham · « **Reply #15 on:** February 16, 2008, 18:07:02 »

I got a surprise today!

Bought 2 packs of their fruit packs (£1.99) and each pack had 3 raspberry canes along with the one tayberry and blackcurrent!

How good is that!!!!

So I got 6 raspberry canes!! Needless to say I planted all of them around the garden.
