  • What's Your Best Freebie?

    Mine has to be about 8 tomato plants from my Dad, not given to me directly by him but they grew in the compost that he made and passed on to me! They have been planted on and I now have a healthy amount of tomatoes waiting to ripen (not sure what type they are though)

        So are mine Phil, all 25 of them! I think the going rate for pots that size is about 99p each, so I certainly couldn't have grown as many without them. There are loads more in my shed as my daughter gets them for me every month. You just can't have too many, specially as they're free.

            Well, a free greenhouse makes my 11 lb of free John Downey crab apples this morning look a bit soft!

              not sure if everyone would agree it was free as I collected loyalty points and then sold them with the money got a 20ft tunnel. II never parted with any of my own cash and the L/points I collected on stuff I always buy

                          Mine's a greenhouse too. A neighbour bought it for his wife who quickly ran out of enthusiasm, and he gave it to us. When we moved it travelled on the trailer, minus glass of course, and was set up in the garden here as a no. 1 priority.

                            My compost bin and water butt, a woman who i use to work with was throwing them out, so i said i'd have them.. that was 6 years since... other than that, a constant free supply of well rotted horse poo.

                              This year, an organic lawnmower (my sister-in-law's pony) staying in our garden for two months and of course the pony poo as a consequence.
                              Last year my OH's ex boss gave us a waterbutt when she moved to Cyprus.
