Title: Bargains at Asda
Post by: Roy Bham UK on September 16, 2006, 20:31:00: ;D I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a Hoe for just 87p :o a rake for the same, a spade for £1.49p and secateurs for just 36p :o ;D

OK they are cheap and nasty but greatly reduced and I won't cry so loud if they get niked up the Lottie, good old Asda. ;D

I have green plastic box which I can put tools inside on plot.

Like I said "I won't cry so loud if they get niked up the Lottie" I would scream blue murder if they niked tools worth £14.99 each :o I have had a fork up the plottie 2 years that has a plastic handle that is being held on with a hose clip ;D it cost me 50p from a car booty and refuses to break. ;D again ;D

Post by: Roy Bham UK on September 20, 2006, 09:10:32: A neighbour on our lottie sinks their old fork and spade deep into the ground then ties an old compost bag over them, it must appear totally undesirable and uninteresting as they have been using this idea for the past two years without probs. ;D

Post by: cambourne7 on October 13, 2006, 22:56:21: got a better idea...

Head to your local tip, usualy there is a couple of guys who make sure that the rubish goes in the right piles. They also have a tendancy to pull out things that can be reused.

Like tools which they sell.

I got a hoe, large garden claw and a shovel for £1

all brand name good quality and still going after a years use
