Pound shop love

Their gardening gloves look OK for those who haven't found them reduced to 25p/pair in Wilkos and have stocked up for the next 20 years or so.

Poundland's peat pots were a fraction of the cost everywhere else last year and the sturdy bamboo canes they had at the beginning of season were a bargain, but deteriorated to flimsy twigs by the end of the year.

Watch out for the vouchers in the national newspapers for £2 off a £12 spend that appear a few times a year.

I found some great really large heavy duty steel tyre levers that are ideal for wheelbarrows a couple of years ago, but haven't seen them in Poundland since then (but saw in 99p shops).

Their thin black plastic cellular trays that have circular inserts are good because the plants are so easy to pop out, unlike (Wilkos) hard plastic cell trays.

Grown from sets from the local poundshop

 

I've never tried a pound shop before for gardening, I've always thought they were a scam but if you guys are saying it's worth having a look then I think I'll give it a go.

You'm not falling for the Global Warming myth either then

 

No Global warming is a myth started by T&M so they could sell you plants that won't survive in our climate.

 

I did have some problems with some varieties,

Salad Rocket - Apollo 13.

Water Lilly - Herald of Free Enterprise.

Parsnip - Chernobyl.

The last one the roots forked all over the place, including upwards

 

How large are they JazzSi?

 

Failed to take off then?

 

I've bought loads of young shrubs from the 99p and £1 shops over the years. One of them even actually grew a bit after I planted it.

 

Funnily enough I've just been emailed the latest £2 off a £12 spend @ Poundland printable voucher (making their stuff 83p each) valid until 26th Jan, sent because of subscribing to their emails. Voucher Link
