Poundland gardening "stuff"

Also what kind of results have people had from poundland "produce"?

Very disappointed with their red onion sets last year. Every one of them bolted. I had kept the packaging and noticed that they were not heat treated.

I don't know if their normal Sturon type sets are the same though.

there is a permanent poundland thread on other forums on this site, worth checking for gardening stuff.

I did not get a single onion from the sets that I got last year in Poundland but the seed potatoes the year before did well in pots/bags.

I bought some of the red onions for planting... problem is I have no idea what to do with them. The little diagram isn't so clear. Also, can I expect one onion back for each onion I plant? Thanks

Thats the theory.

Plant them just below the surface making sure that the soil is not too compacted to give the bulb room to grow.

No, much too soon, the frost will have them, wait until Spring and keep them cool until then, like a dark shed / garage

You do not want light or warmth because they will sprout, then you are stuffed as it is too early to plant them

March as the earliest

Thanks for the Poundland gardening tip off. OH and I picked up some seed potatoes, plus I picked up some perennial flowers for the cut flower border on the allotment, lobelia seed packs and a few other bits such as netting which always come in useful.

Poor selection at Cross Gates Leeds but found a pack of 5 pink fir apple potatoes for 98p in nearby Wilkinsons. Worth a go at that price.

I bought some bulbs/plants from there last week as they were being put on display and went back today to buy more but they had all gone. They now have loads of iris/freesia bulbs (25 to a pacK) and various shrubs. Also solar powered lights quid each!
