Recent Freecycle Goodies

I love frecycle for picking up plants and other bits and bobs for the garden. This last week I have picked up 8 pieces of railway sleeper, all exactly 2ft in length and nicely weathered but with no rot (not sure what to do with them just yet ~ suggestions welcome ), 3 bird boxes, a quality hose pipe on a reel, a 3ft horse chestnut tree (which I may donate to a local school or park) and a large bag of unopened bark chips..

 

Good haul Bilbo!! Is that off the Derby one? All I ever see on it is kids stuff.........

 

Hi catz, mostly the Beeston or Ilkeston ones or Vale Royal in Cheshire where I used to live; my mum still does so she picks the stuff up there and brings it with her when she visits

 

Think I will have to sign up to freecycle and try to be first in the Willenhall one.

I got a Belfast sink and four folding chairs today.
Last week about twenty 12 to 20cm terracotta pots and a new bag of cactus compost, a seminar table for the g/house and about 200 plastic pots of assorted sizes.

 

One man's muck is another man's treasure.
Envy is what you have given me Bilbo, I really need to see what others are throwing away and see if there is a creation to be had.
Keep it up and we all maybe on the free grab a bargin.
:patpat:

 

You are requested to offer something yourself once in a while
or it all becomes take take take
The recognised currency is a large bar of chocolate otherwise

Never given away any chocolate but we have given away dozens of excess plants (veg seedlings etc) that would otherwise be composted as well as unwanted household items...

 

Had a really good Freecycle Friday today!

Just collected 600litres of coarse vermiculite and a wheatgrass germinator. Basically, it is just a very expensive (£80 expensive!) stackable version of the cheap windowsill propagators that you can buy.........

 

I never see anything either caz....but bilbo has just gave me an idea weve spotted some old railway sleepers on the old slivertrail line here(buried in bramble) and as they are too big to carry i reckon sawing them into 2ft lenghs and then theyl be moveable

 

Got myself a pair of Bokashi bins through freecycle yesterday.

 

Latest must have designer shades right?
