I had a very fruitful trip to my local Lidl this morning, bagged myself some bargains :-)
a thing that cuts round holes to plant into + 2 stainless trowels £2.99
a foam kneeler £1.49
2 x 2 x 5m mini poly tunnels inc. hoops and plastic £2.99 each
10m of weed control fabric £2.99
an outdoor doormat £1.69 - perfect for my very muddy wellies :-)
Worth a look if you have one near you, you can always check what's in store on their website, www.lidl.co.uk
I am going back on Saturday as it's goosgogs for 99p and 89p grow bags :-)
Just thought I'd share the joy.

Thanks T B will have a look tomorrow

TinkieBear, I bought the polytunnels and weed membrane too! what bargains!
;D
Polytunnels sold out at our lidl :(
Got kneepads for mother-in laws partner and small pack of hand tools with measurements on for £2.99
My son's girlfriend kindly went round to Hastings Lidl to get me 2 plastic tunnels, and reported that there were lots there on Thursday. They hadn't got change for a £10 note, so I've asked them to get me a third and keep the change for heating (freezing flat - we all have to wear blankets and coats).
My husband went a bit bananas and bought all the membrane left in ours. That was after he'd picked up chicken manure pellets in B&Q on B.O.G.O.F. (£7.99 FOR 10L)
I'll be off their tomorrow - via the lottie of course!
TB my shopping was almost identical to yours. I also bought 6 box plants for £3.99 which seemed a real bargain but not quite sure what to do with them - to plant a hedge round anything I need a load more which might require another trip tomorrow. :)
1-2 yr old fruit tress and more fruit shrubs today :)
I just noticed your ID, Barbaragood, excellent. ;D
I'll try and get there today, but my local one in Feltham usually sells out very quickly. :-\
THank you Tinkie Bear :D
4 mini poly tunnels and a roll of weed supressant.
Now for the grand plan.... what to put under them!
Better keep digging out the couch grass, don't want it getting all warm snuggly and happy underneath :(
No poly tunnels or weed supressant
:( but got S/S fork ;D
Arrived at my local Lidl about 10am on Saturday and got 2 pear trees, 2 apple trees and a polytunnel for less than £20!! Woohoo ;D ;D
Cheers,
Rob ;)
Anyone put thier polytunnels up yet? I put mine up on Saturday, despite the wind and a lack of real instructions on the box! Found that I had to use string to attach the plastic sheeting to the poles, and bricks to hold the ends down, but look good - AND they've withstood the winds we've had here for the last three days!
:)
I've had mine up for a couple of weeks already. (I bought the tunnel last Autumn.) Last night's storm winds lifted the bricks I was using to hold one end down, but there was no damage. I guess all those little holes are there for a reason 8). Well pleased ;D.
