Hi All
I just wanted to flag up to anyone who isnt on thier local freegle how fabulous it is .
This week i have been looking for flags for the garden and a chicken coop , both of these are now in my garden picked up from lovely local people from freegle and free..
Its a great place for getting rid of things you dont want from strawberry runners to videos and a great place for finding things that are useful to you. And, and this is perhaps the best bit, its a great way of meeting other gardeners in your area. I've had many garden tours from lovely people and picked up some fab plants that i know will thrive in the local conditions.
So if you havent tried it before give it a whirl look up freegle and your town name on google.
You never know what you might find.

I agree!! I found my 6x8 greenhouse on free cycle. When we went to pick it up the owner threw in a mountfield petrol lawnmower, staging and a twin paraffin greenhouse heater. I am still very grateful three years later when I pick my cucumbers, peppers and toms that I grow in it every year ;D

It looks much the same as freecycle- anyone know how it differs or any pros/cons ?

In Edinburgh freegle replaced freecycle. Something to do with the US based freecycle trying to to set too many conditions???
