Great to see Wilko's is slowly creeping north. king for new sites.

I'd recommend that anyone who wants to see Wilko's in their area, contacts them to prove that there is a demand up here.

Cheers

Wish they would creep further south, maybe into Southampton would be great

to you all on line,my local morrisons says they will have their fruit trees in over the next few weeks ,have been buying them for past 4/5 years,a bit smaller, but they soon bulk up and crop well..last year the apples/pears/plums and cherries were £4.50,so if you get any ,its only the price of two pints..value.

They can be another goody Buffs. I bought a Conference pear, I think 4 years ago from them to use just as a pollinator. But last year we got about 4 kilos of fruit from it, and we don't even like Conference. Good for cooking though.

to sarraceniac, they are good for swapping as well,i got 5 big bags of woodshavings last year in exchange..still using them now.

Hi

My Wilkos have not got their fruit trees in yet, but Morrisons have. Same price as last year.
I want some apple trees, not made my mind up yet, maybe other small fruit trees too.

I went in today for a sandwich and came out with two packs of "T" plant labels and some french beans, peas and Boltardy beetroot seeds.
You really can't help yourself. Well I can't.

After reading this thread i decided to go and investigate my local wilkos. well i was shocked!!! for £8 i got 6 packs of seeds, 2 seed trays, a box of fish, bone and blood and 15 canes! i cant get over the price. if i had bought all this at the gerden centre it would have cost me atleast 4 times that amount!

Welcome to the wonderful world of the Wilkos addict, be warned !

If I don`t go in there at least once a week I get a nose bleed !

Well, you can't if you don't want your collar felt by the store detective!

I saw some Kingfisher potato bags at £2.47 for a pack of 2 or an offer of 2 bag packs of various patio planting bags for £5. Resisted but I think I'm going back to get some.
