Is gone from channel 41 on freeview. Didn’t last long did it?

I ordered a shed load of plants based on the plugs they were showing on their TV demonstration.
When they arrived, most of the plants had bolted to about 100mm and the roots were through the bottom.
This means you have to break the roots to get them out and they had to be pinched out to encourage more shoots. The upshot of all this is I’ll be lucky to get any flowers till quite late, if at all.

Some of the plugs were so small they were about the size of my little fingertip to the first joint. About 10mm square by about 20mm deep.
These were not shown in the live demo's. Some of the 100mm bolted plants were in these tiny plugs.

If you buy these you’ll be very disappointed and feel ripped off as I do.

I had trusted Ideal world up until now but I’m so disgusted with them, I don’t think I’ll buy anything from them again.:mad:

Looks like they need all the money they can get, shutting down the freeview channel early (it was only going to be on for a few months anyway) and now they have switched to an 090 phone number which costs 20p/minute.

Ideal World are rubbish, their presenters wouldn't be allowed to sweep up at QVC!

I'm still waiting for plant sets ordered on the 16/05/10 and 18/05/10

I also ordered the hanging baskets (recieved) and I have to say, they are brilliant, shame I've got sod all to put in them!

Hope I don't have to wait as long as you. Never ever again.:mad:

They brain wash rather than demonstrate, probably not their fault though. I can only stand to watch them for a short time, even if it's something I'm interested in.
