Star bargain appears to be a compost bin for £13.99, though I'll be buying a weed wand to replace the one that toerags stole from my shed when they broke in last week. >:( Shan't be leaving it on the allotment this time! ;D

Looking at the picture, thought it might be handy for achieving this 'fine tilth' stuff, but then I can just imagine clods of stubborn clay stuck to each prong and it merrily bouncing along the surface of the soil, doing nothing AT ALL >:(

Post by: Roy Bham UK on April 21, 2006, 19:21:25: I went yesterday, the price tag read "assorted covers" £1.99 each I chose the insect net and didn't realise till I got home that they had charged me £4.99 :'(

With tac tics like that I may just give them a miss in future >:(

There were packets of fleece, polythene and insect netting, all in the same bin, I classed them all as covers. :-[ clever slant I'll not let happen again. >:(

Post by: mat on April 22, 2006, 08:36:19: Ahh, possibly a problem of staff not knowing the difference??? I have seen similar in supermarkets... when I bought something which was not on multibuy, because someone had filled the shelf incorrectly... very anoying

Newbury had two (empty) sections, one for each. but all had been wiped out.
