Allotments 4 All

For anyone who is planning on buying a passata machine this year - here's a tip. I bought mine from Seeds of Italy last year. It's still in their catalogue at £24.99 plus £2.99 (7 working days dispatch)........BUT

I get the TEMPSL. catalogue each month and guess what? The self-same machine is pictured in this catalogue at £15.90 plus £4.49 delivery charge! A saving of £7.59. here is the link, www.tempsl.co.uk and the ref. number is 6621 to order online.

Why is it that soon after you've bought something you see it much cheaper elsewhere???????

Don't seem to be able to find the item without registering first. What are they like for bombarding with adverts?

You can choose not to receive any bum from them. Just make sure to tick the right boxes. I only get the catalogue by snail mail. They are also good if you need to return something. Refund, no questions asked.

Wow! What a difference! Have bookmarked the page and trying to tell myself that I may not need it this year (fewer Tom plants)...but then again...

;)

ooooh. i like that!  ;D

I got one earlier in the year & am growing loads of tomatoes in anticipation - can't wait to use it.  :)

Tricia,

looks like a good deal, how did you find the gadget to use ??  does it really separate the skins and seeds from the pulp, sounds too good to be true

Depending on your 'road test' report  ;) I may invest the remains of my Birthday money  ;D ;D

Our dear Supersprout had great fun with hers last year.

This is what inspired me to get one.  :)

MM ...... thanks
just had a fascinating 1/2 hour reading the thread, it made my mind up for me, just ordered the Passata machine  ;D   (:o will now have to spend some of my money  ... the older stuff with Queen Victoria's picture on it  ;D ;D)

Looks like a really good idea for OH's birthday present!
thank you

I borrowed my friends one last year and it was BRILLIANT !! All bar the tinyest seeds were fished out with all the skin and hard bits.  Put the pulp through 3 times and you will get all the liquid out, then you can boil it down for passata or keep going for puree - I was going to get myself one but I am very glad I waited.

Oh they are quite easy to clean too, not too much messing about !

Helen

with muchos apologies to katynewbie, i cheated ........ just bought one !

;D

 ;D

I am still holding out.



But it's still very tempting...where's me debit card?


;)

it's only 5 packets of fags !  and what a useful gadget to have.

i rest my case.

;D

Tricia, you should be getting commission: I've just ordered one too, having coveted Supersprout's ever since she went into her passata-frenzy last autumn.  :) ... Blessings on SS. *sigh*

ok 4 then.  single parent's they're known as up hear.  £4.52 at the last count.   :'(

Yes, Trif - it was SS's industrious bottling last year using her passata machine that made me decide I needed one too...............(I DO miss her  :().

This is one machine that will not remain at the back of the cupboard, but will be dusted off each tomato harvest season and the loss of Sarah will be remembered poignantly all over again.

Tricia

she's never far from my thoughts every single day tricia.

i love it when people link to a thread SS posted on that i've never read before.

;D
