Freebies & Bargains

Comment by Debi Williamson on January 26, 2011 at 22:42

I was wondering if anyone knew of a greenhouse new or secondhand for sale (if secondhand in NI) I'm being slightly messed about by the company I orginally ordered from, ideally wanted it around March but if secondhand then can before! I was looking for something like a 8 by 12 or similar size. Thanks in advance

hi debbie

I use freegle/freecycle a lot and get lots of garden stuff on there, but have just joined Ecobees as well, you can find things from further afield with them, picked up a rocking chair today for my new baby granddaughter!

Hi Debi,

 

When I was looking for one last year, I set up an ebay alert thing - any greenhouses within a 25 mile radius of where I live.  Worked well - or it would have done if I hadn't kept forgetting to bid...!

 

For various reasons, I ended up buying a new one and got messed around too - it was supposed to arrive at the start of May (which was late enough) but only actually arrived in July - very, very annoying. But they did give me £120-worth of staging & a thing to raise the greenhouse up 6 inches for free in compensation so while my tomato crops were a bit of a failure last year, this year should be just super ;)

Sainsburys have a 4 for 3, or was it 3 for 2, on seeds. Sorry I was whizzing past and it didn't click until I was standing in the queue. Thought I'd pass it on anyway.

Not sure if this has ever been mentioned  but the Garden Swap Shop website can be useful: http://www.gardenswapshop.co.uk

Just enough time to sign up for EcoCharlie.co.uk and get their Magic Monday offer- Black Sunflower seeds at greatly reduced price-valid till midnight!

Both squash seeds and Brussels sprouts seeds have gone.

 

Everything else still up for grabs!

The Works 'bookshop' (at least our local one) have got veg and flower seeds on offer - 59p a packet or 2 for £1.00. They mainly seem to be Johnsons seeds, a few Mr Fothergills, mostly packed last year but all good to sow until 2012ish.
