i hit B&Q this afternoon at 4pm.

at 4.25 and £39 later, i humped about a tonne of various sand/grit/improver/manure/topsoil into my boot ON MY OWN.

having nearly cracked the chassis and my back moving it all into the back garden, i started digging until it was too dark to see.

the quest continues tomorrow.

once i've got one of the beds done, i shall go in search of the economy products and build no. 2.

I needed SOMETHING, and i needed it then.

thank goodness for plastic  :P

and to top it off loads of seeds arrived, i can now join in with the broad bean threads.

;D

So true! Isn't it strange how B & Q becomes more appealing than M & S ;D

[MrsKP]

it's been my favourite store for some considerable time now ......... (how i wish they did loyalty cards).

helpful hint .... the big flat bed trolleys should be pulled not pushed.  a nice man told me so  ;D

[grawrc]

Yes Mrs KP LOL I learnt that the hard way ;D ;D ;D ;D

[MrsKP]

if we don't learn something new every day, we are nothing !!!  ;D

so......... tell me how you chaps and chappesses put that wee location map thing on your profile page  :P

[Wicker]

Mine appeared as if by magic when I entered my plot in the Members Map (see top of page)!!

Lol Mrs KP I keep wanting to say Mrs Nuts ( you know KP Nuts - really sorry :-[  :D

[MrsKP]

you wouldn't believe it would you (aye you would)  if i told you we actually have a member of our group called KP Nuts !!!  I'm not sure what he'd say about the missus bit though.

the KP stands for Kinning Park (Glasgow South Side before I moved to Hillington).  But I've been MrsKP now for so long, i can't change it  ;D

Yes, but the big flat bed trolleys should be being pulled not pushed by a nice man  ;D ;D

[MrsKP]

he wasn't that nice lol.  and the OH was busy hiding behind his desk while i was on my excursions.   :-X  he shall pay tomorrow.   :P

and i now have a pin ....thanks wicker.

You must be loaded. Whats up with your builders merchants, cheap and usually delivered free.

[MrsKP]

cost me £20 to have two huge tubby bags of stuff delivered for the shed base from local builders merchants.  £39 i can justify in my head ....£180 for a two tubbies of other stuff i couldn't.

Well, it's a lovely dry day ....... best i get out there.

;D

Look in Yellow Pages for Seed Merchants/ Farmers Supplies, you find that many of them stock compost, bark, and fencing posts, treated timber et. Always cheaper than DIY Stores, and very knowledgable too.

If you "grab a granny" on Wednesdays - you can get 10% off.  I have become very popular on Wednesdays since I got my B&Q discount card.

Thank you gardenantics, that suggestion alone is worth its Weight in Gold!  ;D ;D ;D
