I need about a dozen for me tomatoes. Any suggestions of where to get them at a reasonable price?

thanks

  • I got 40 for 89p from Home Bargains and they are holding up my toms. They are quite long, and they had some really tall ones a bit dearer too.

    That's a fantastic price, I looked in home bargains and they didn't have any so I finished up getting them from screwfix and they were £5 for 10 which I thought was expensive.
    Out of a matter of interest when did you buy them exactly?

    Are you near a JFT. They do 10 6ft or 8 8ft for 89p in green. The plain bamboo are a bit cheaper.
  • How about Wilkinsons or Morrisons??

    You could try Poundland, I managed to get some there a while ago - not as good as Home Bargains by the looks of things, but better than garden centres! Good Luck.
