Freebies & Bargains
I thought it would be good to have a place to share any freebies that you might see (e.g. seeds) or any good bargains (e.g. plants, equipment)
VP replied to Emma Cooper's discussion Blogging a book in the group Book Club"Snap! I'm using a New Horizon growbag for the first time this year too Jan. Looking good so far for my tomatoes, fingers crossed we don't get blight this year...
I've 'planted' a 3" pot in the growbag next to…"
Emma Cooper replied to Emma Cooper's discussion Blogging a book in the group Book Club"Thanks guys :) It's good to know about the New Horizon growbags, Jan, as I have never used those myself."
Jan Willetts replied to Emma Cooper's discussion Blogging a book in the group Book Club"I've used New Horizon growbags this year and the results are looking good so far, I am trying not to overwater as they never seem to let any excess water go even though I have drainage holes. I have also used their peat free ericaceous…"

I sieved it and mixed it with perlite for seed sowing, lots of woody bits had to be discarded. Seeds…"
Trish le Gal replied to Emma Cooper's discussion Blogging a book in the group Book Club"What do you mean by 'a bit mixed' Jan? The first time I used peat-free multi-purpose (about 10 years ago) I had trouble regulating the watering - it looked dry on top, but underneath was a different story. I find it's still very easy…"
