Title: Plastic mini ploy tunnels from Lidl
Post by: sally_cinnamon on April 17, 2007, 13:25:06
Does anyone know anywhere else that i can get them from?  I bought two from Lidl when they had their garden week back in March, but now they don't have any and I would like a couple more.  Or has anyone made their own?

Hi SC,
Check out the Lidl website, they are having another garden week starting Thursday 19th April, and are selling something they call 'Protective covers', but they look a lot like the poly tunnels they sold in March - not sure if they come with the 'hoops' though.

No way!  It would be rude not to buy one of them!

I'll check Lidl too, thanks SteveJ - I have spare hoops from the last ones anyway...

We just went to LIdl and they are having another garden week starting this Thursday and are selling mini greenhouses, cloches, and coldframes (£20). The man said get there early as the normally all go within a couple of hours!

We made our own version with cheap hula hoops from the pound shop.

Chopped them in two, put a 6 inch bit of cane in each end, slides in easily and then they secure in the ground well and popped  polythene over the top.

Works a treat and you can get some funky colours on the plot too ;D
