Ooooh!  Our Poundland had those in Feb but the weekend I was there the queue was out of the door and I couldn't face the wait with No.2 son in tow.

Everytime I have been back since, there haven't been any.  I'll have to check again tomorrow.

Thanks for the info

I was in the Metrocentre one today.  They had them back in stock there, but had moved them to the back of the store.

For some reason they have scattered gardening supplies around 3 separate aisles.  So look carefully.

They also do 4 foot canes - packs of 30.  I'm using those for container peas.

Found them!  Not in Poundland but in the 99p shop.  Got 2 packs of 8ft x 15 and one pack of 30 x 3ft.  I tell you, it was interesting carting that lot back to the car ;D

they have done this in ours as well. Is over 2 floors now, have to really hunt for it. Good marketing though as it forces you to go past all the other stuff whilst looking for the gardening things, so end up buying more than you bargained for.

My pea sticks were free - have used branches I pruned off a plum tree last year. Look really 8)
