Lidl - Gardening Stuff

The lawnmower that they are offering for £200 is really good value according to the man who services my mum's mower. It's a Briggs & Stratton petrol engine, which is a very good make. He'd expect a similar branded machine to retail for double that,

Hi Lotus-Eater,
I bought the electric cultivator last year and it works well and makes nice seedbeds.:j
Don't use it next to greenhouse (a flying stone cracked a pane of glass - repaired with Lidl aluminium tape!).:o Not powerful enough to cultivate lawn unless it is rough-dug first.

Hi
What type of soil do you have?

My local Lidl had loads of pansies today, small & with few flowers but healthy-looking, as well as summer bulbs, shrubs & seeds (mainly veg). I bought 10 blue irises for £2.50, some hostas & a tub of Summer Flower Seed Mix for £1.50 - "a Colourful Mix without leguminous seeds". You get 100g of seeds which at the recommended density means you can sow 100 square metres with 40-odd different plants: Strawflower, Corn COckle, Sweet Alyssum, Prince's Feather, Love Lies Bleeding etc, etc .. "and other varieties". Splendid!

Nickz - I used the Summer flower seed last year in my son's garden, very good value, would have been even better if he had watered them now & then

They were £2.99 for 6 is Stockport. Quite tall, spindly and flowering. The ones in Aldi are the same price, come in their own pots, are smaller but more substantial, and contain different varieties. I guess it's what's available in your area...

Saw the flyer for the ones in Aldi and was interested because it said that there were 4 varieties and the harvest was spread over the year but I could not make out what the 4 varieties were. One of them was honeyoye, got some of these from Wilko last year. Has anybody bought any and could they enlighten me please ?. It's a bit of a jaunt to my "local" Aldi and would involve a large carbon footprint not to many another tenner in the tank.
Many thanks.

I have to say that I bought 6 strawbs from lidl last year, variety unknown, and they're uttlerly gorgeous, really really tasty,,better than cambridge favourite which is the other variety I'm growing. I've also gotten stacks of runners off them. So everyone go get some!
