Poundland gardening bargains
Options
I bought a few things in Poundland this morning, not sure if they are all new stock or not as I don't get to go in there often.
A glass wasp catcher, it's in the shape of a beehive with a black metal hanger. It does say bee catcher on the label but I would like to think it's more for insects which aren't as cute!
A double pack of decent quality small gardening gloves (when I say small I mean ladies size, not kids).
2 black round rubber mats, like the ones you put outside the door to wipe your feet on that look like black wrought iron, they were £1 each. I hate getting my feet muddy if I am going into the greenhouse so these will be great to use as stepping stones if you know what I mean. :rolleyes: I have to walk from the patio to the greenhouse door which is positioned onto the lawn, it won't fit the other way.
A 6 pack of seeds, the Nice & Spicy pack which contains:
Basil (Dark Opal) 100 Seeds
Oriental Spicy Leaf Mix - Mizuna, Cima Rapa, Green Pak Choi and Red Mustard 125 Seeds
Coriander (Coriandum) 80 Seeds
Sweet Pepper (Canape) 10 Seeds
Chilli Pepper (Cayenne) 6 Seeds
Mustard Greens (Mixed) 125 Seeds
Hope this of help to anyone who maybe passing by a Poundland soon.

These are the pop-up garden waste bins i am using for early potatoes, 3 in each. They are approx 33cm wide and 40-45cm deep and just needed some holes in the bottom.

Barclaycard was £250.00 now £190. 00

I got that exact same seed mix pack, growing nicely except for the sweet pepper! I also got two fruit bushes from poundland, one is taking nicely.
Their compost works like a bomb, much cheaper than any garden centre!Smile more often, it's FREE :hello: Live on £4000 for a year stalker!

Hello, are those bins from Poundland? If so, how much are they? Could do with some for my spuds too!
And how much are the seeds please?SIMPLE SIMON - Met a pie man going to the fair. Said Simple Simon to the pie man, "What have you got there?" Said the pie man unto Simon, "Pies, you simpleton!"0 -
I was waiting for someone to ask that...
The seeds come in a pack of six, I got some flowers like Californian Poppies and Blaze Of Fire and mine are coming up nicely and are £1 for the pack.
The bins are £1 each."Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art."

I bought some of the popup bags from Poundland as I cant see that they are any different than the more expensive popups I bought last year for potatoes, maybe a bit smaller. Ive put sprouts in one, strawberries in another and beets in the third and bought my daughter some who has put potatoes in hers. Had a catalogue from lakeland today and they sell them for about £7 lol.

I've bought 10 of the Pop up Bags for my Spuds too - I paid much more for the Hanciks Potato Planters last year and the Poundland ones are just the same size, maybe a bit thinner and of course you have to make your own holes!! But a BARGAIN @ £1
Not sure if they still have them in stock but I also bought Garden Netting, Plastic Poly Tunnels and Garden Fleece (£1 each) which I thought was a great buy.2009 Savings & Winnings so far....Pigsback £15.06 +[strike]£40[/strike] M&S Vouchers + £20 New Look + TNS £15 Capital Bonds + Qype Ninja Goodies + £50 Virgin VoucherSealed Pot Challenge #589 - Target £1500 -
Right I'm off to Merry Hill tomorrow to get some. How many spuds you planting in each popup bag?SIMPLE SIMON - Met a pie man going to the fair. Said Simple Simon to the pie man, "What have you got there?" Said the pie man unto Simon, "Pies, you simpleton!"0

If it's in the shape of a bee hive, and says bee catcher on the label, I'd say it would catch bees... have to say, I think that's pretty crappy of Poundland to be selling such items given the current bee population crisis.TOP MONEYSAVING TIP
Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!0 -

Same. It'll cost us all if we loose many more of these pollinators.SIMPLE SIMON - Met a pie man going to the fair. Said Simple Simon to the pie man, "What have you got there?" Said the pie man unto Simon, "Pies, you simpleton!"0
