Star bargain appears to be a compost bin for £13.99, though I'll be buying a weed wand to replace the one that toerags stole from my shed when they broke in last week. >:(  Shan't be leaving it on the allotment this time! ;D

Many thanks for the top tip Mutanthobbit

I keep missing the bargains but this time i'll be ready ;)

Sorry to hear about the shed raid :(, hope you get to use weedwand on toerags! ;D

sorry to hear about your weedwand being stolen, hope the scumbags blow themselves up with it. does anyone know if the cultivator is any good. never seen one before?

I was wondering the v. same thing, Weedbusta - glad you asked the question first ;D

Looking at the picture, thought it might be handy for achieving this 'fine tilth' stuff, but then I can just imagine clods of stubborn clay stuck to each prong and it merrily bouncing along the surface of the soil, doing nothing AT ALL >:(

It looks more like a lawn scarifier to me

Check out your local water board for bargain composters ours are selling 330ltr ones for £6 including delivery :o Don't miss out 8)

i've got clay soil to, maybe i just like the thought of strolling along giving the thing a gentle push!!! ha ha.

I like the look of the insect net - anyone been to Lidls and seen any?

I went yesterday, the price tag read "assorted covers" £1.99 each I chose the insect net and didn't realise till I got home that they had charged me £4.99 :'(
I got stung the same with a bottle of wine too :'(

With tac tics like that I may just give them a miss in future >:(

the assorted covers were £1.99
the insect net was £4.99

I was after insect net, but unfortunately it was all gone  >:(

There were packets of fleece, polythene and insect netting, all in the same bin, I classed them all as covers. :-[ clever slant I'll not let happen again. >:(

Ahh, possibly a problem of staff not knowing the difference???  I have seen similar in supermarkets... when I bought something which was not on multibuy, because someone had filled the shelf incorrectly... very anoying

Newbury had two (empty) sections, one for each. but all had been wiped out.
