I know I should recycle and build my own but I just don't have the energy. Does the Daily Telegraph offer look like a good deal? £14.95 postage, clip together 1mx1m frame.

    A link may help us decide and is it £14.95 postage or do you mean inc postage?

    They have some wooden slot together in Wilkinsons stores for £19.95.

    Oh c'mon people.
    I'm sure your capable of using a screwdriver and a hammer........
    You could most likely buy the amount of wood you need to make one of these for under a fiver.....:rolleyes:
    Or if you want to realy get your hands dirty, you could get an old pallet for free and dissmantle it, then rearange into a raised bed.
    I mean, honestly....:rotfl:

    Sorry, calming down now!

    I don't have a copy of the paper so the only details I have are from the daily digest

    "P&P £14.49. Offer consists of a raised bed 1m x1m ( easy assembly ) a 80g pack of fertiliser a dvd How to grow vegetables and six packets of seeds.
    Not sure what seeds but they are shown as Thompson Morgan."

    That sounds like a good deal if it is £14.49 for the lot inc delivery.

    No link, cut out and send form from the paper (just bought one). Looks pretty good to me - will leave it lying around in case my lot need any ideas for Mothering Sunday!

    BTW, have already made an old wooden compost bin into a very high raised bed for the pumpkins but starting to rot now.

    Sorry I overreacted - to give you an idea, today I managed to plant 3 garlic bulbs and 10 strawberry plants, it's taken me 3 days to get the pots ready...:D
