Well I have been in Lidl and they have their seeds at small packet 28p large packet 47p. Which is alot cheaper than the £1 to £2 plus you pay in garden centres etc for main brand seeds. If your smart you buy aload now as they are all well in date, use by date on packets I bought are all 2011. They have Tomato "Moneymaker" for 28p. 30L Peat free compost £1.99.

Poundland have big garden Plant tubs £1 square vase shape. 4 Lilly of the vally plants in one packet £1 Onion sets £1 . 15L compost bag 4-5 week feed £1. They have solar lights of several designs. I like to get the lights that are globes ment for floating on garden pond, but I put them on the soil at the base of my dwarf fruit trees, make sure you get the white led ones though. http://www.poundland.co.uk/pages/offers/gardening_2.aspx

Wilkinson have rhubbarb "Red canadian" £2 and Tomato plastic green house £9.99 http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/browse/137?ex=co_wizr-locayta&collate=pdxttype&collate=pdxtcolourn&collate=pdxtbrandn&collate=pdxtsizen&collate=pdxtmaterialn&collate=pdxtpackqtyn&collate=pdxtheightn&sortname=ascending&sortorder=name&fieldinvt=type&termtextinvt=invt&typeinvt=exact&fieldpcatid=pcatid&typepcatid=exact&termorder=invt%3Apcatid&template=wz_locayta&pagenum=2&perpage=10&threshold=0&spellcorrect=1&datasource=wilkinsonplusen&setpagenum=3

If Your lucky to be near one of the big Home bargains stores they have some good garden offers in. I got a herb growing kit with seeds, peat, three pots and chalk sticks £4.99 http://www.tjmorris.co.uk/

Aldi still have the tail end of their garden bulbs on sale near me and they are great value. www.aldi.co.uk

I looked in Focusdiy near me but walked out as the prices are so high! shame they use to be good value.

I went to Wilkos yesterday. Their seeds are on 3 for 2. Bought some of their own brand and some Johnsons. They are all in the offer.

I also bought a potato growing kit and a salad growing kit. Basically a black bucket with everything in for growing these things. These were both half price: the potato kit was £4.00 and the salad £3.00

I am planning on building (well I'm planning on getting my other half to build...) a raised bed in the very small space that I have available. (has to be raised as I have a bad back and cant bend down or kneel down for long periods)

Poundland had loads of bulbs and seed packets all for £1 and if they work it will have been really good value . They also had a lot of tubs and troughs in green plastic as well as a whole lot of decorative bits and pieces.

I bought bulbs from Poundland a couple of years back & thought 'oh well only a pound' they've been fantastic. I'll definately get some more.

Got trees last week - ornamental for £1.99 at Morisson's.

Went in poundland Manchester yesterday ended up spending £15 :rotfl:
Lots of gardening stuff from netting to water storage gel liners (two in pack, 36cm diameter) water retaining gel. Solar stone light and two garden tidy popup bins. amongst other things.


They had garden poly tunnels, slug traps ( twin pack ) lots of hanging baskets designs and plastic plant tubs which for a £1 put the big multiples to shame with what they charge!:money:
