Allotments 4 All

My Tony's getting addicted to bargain hunting. I thought it was just me. He went to Homebase this afternoon for some potting compost. Came home all excited. He had seen a mini greenhouse that had been on show outside and actually asked the manager how much he could have it for. He wanted £20," Will have to go and fetch the wife "said Tony. Took me and it was great only it only had 1 of the shelves in instead of 4. When we got back inside the store I saw another one in a dirty box so I sent Tony to ask the bloke how much he wanted for that 1. being as the box was dirty. £20 says he. Not bad for a £39 gh. We had been to wilkies this mornin task if the one we had ordered had come yet. It hadn't come. This one looks a much better product. Will post a pic when its up

here it is with  and without clothes

Ah well, so it was a waste of my time when I wrote in a previous post about keeping his wallet shut then?  Shirl that looks a good buiy :)

they never learn do they( thank goodness)

Nice one Shirl! (OH I mean....the 'house is OK too) ;D

That's the heavy duty frostproof cover you've got there, Shirl - much tougher than the clear plastic. And you can buy them separately, too. I've now got four of these mini gs (every time I see a bargain...), two with those covers, two plain, and I'm going to get those covers for the other two!

I should really start growing stuff soon...

;D

I love a bargain & that looks like a good one - maybe I should try my local Homebase.

maybe you can help

is there details in there on how to get a replacement cover??

I cant find one to replace the 4 tier mini-greenhouse i bought last year.

Try these:

Also, if you have a Robert Dyas nearby, they get their replacement covers in round about now.

Make sure you get one the right width. If you send me the size, I just might have one going.

cool i have already bought the wrong one  :'(

i think its just over 3ft but will measure tomorrow as the temps hovering at freezing and i dont think my jimjams will keep me warm enough  ;)

I am sure its the same one shirlton has and she might have the measureents to hand

If it's that wide, mine won't fit. You'll probably need the widest fitting.

Ooh, can I leap on the back of that offer to cam7 and measure mine tomorrow and let you know then, Robert?  Reckon mine's a bit narrower than that and the previous cover has been shredded this winter.

I'll get my spare from the allotment, and the first person to need the right size can have it.

I'm sure I saw the replacement covers in homebase. Don't know how much they were though.the number of the 4 tier grow rack is 585359. Hope that will help. We are going to put it in the GH today. It means that 1 of Tony's benches will have to go into the other GH

Homebase tell me that they dont sell the covers seperatly and that there should be details inside of where you can get the cover from.

I have seen replacement covers for there large walk in greenhouse but i dont think that would last more than 5 min before blowing away.

Looks like a super barg shirlton!  I must keep my eye out for one, kitchen just isn't big enough for all the seeds I want to plant  :o ;D

I like the look of th walk in hexagonal job at Wilko's for £40 but I'm not sure that it wouldn't blow away at the moment!
:-\

just a note that morrisons supermarkets do a walk in 3 tier (i believe its 3) one for.... wait for it..... 25 great british pounds!   ;D
however, they are not on display so cannot comment on the thickness of the plastic.

My 3 tier cover cost £5.99 from local nursery, they had four tier but cant remember the price.   ;D ;D ;D
