What I had for free 2023

As it says on the tin really...I'm a bit of a womble and I love love love a bargain, and free is best of all. So far this year [well, the last month or so  really, I can't remember the previous six months] I've had a free green bin for the garden, currently being used as a water but collecting the water off the greenhouse, a large bin with some bamboo in it which needs to be emptied and split, two mexican pine bedside cabinets, a water tank to make into a pond, two geums, a wicker basket and a metal umbrella basket, both destined for use in the garden somehow and fingers crossed, hoping for a pizza oven..
What did you get? And tips and tricks for doing it...My tip would be , always be polite if youre asking for something, and for giving stuff away, strike up a conversation before you tell them where ou live to make sure they just haven't said they want it not to miss out..

    I wombled a Belfast sink, which is now a water feature with a solar fountain & mini bulrushes. I've also acquired plants for my garden, beautiful honey from my friend's hives and a BNWT rotary washing line 😁
    Mini bulrushes! Very envious have you got a photo?
