Wilkinsons 2013

[Sheneval]

Got a tub of chicken pellets at Wilko for £6 - in comparison to Homebase I thought that was a good price

[VirginVegGrower]

Shame you're not near me where chicky poo is free

[Sheneval]

My cousin in Argyll keeps chickens - I'll ask him to save some for me

Seriously though - everyone on the allotment seems to use it so it must be good stuff

[VirginVegGrower]

It is - high nitrogen so use on compost heap if fresh. Works as a great activator

Potatoes, shallots and onions in mine today. Also horseradish, ginger, strawberries, etc in packets.

Went today. Didn't have any small bags of first earlies so left the spuds, and didn't need any seeds either so managed to avoid them. Did have small bags of 2nds and mains and 2.5kg bags of 1sts.

However did buy a couple of 80l bins to store soil and grow spuds in, a la potstubs! £11 each which was cheapest I could find.

Great, been looking for a cheap bin to cover my rhubarb, hope it's not too late for that.
We have a wilkos down here in surrey, the queues are ridiculous though.
I'll buy some seed try inserts I think.

[VirginVegGrower]

They have orchard fruit trees in, plums, cherries, apples and pears!

How much VVG?

I absolutely love Wilkinsons, it really is one of my favourite shops. I do a bit mystery shopping there from time to time which is great as I get to buy some gardening stuff and I get some money back in exchange for trailing around the store for 30 mins each time, quite easily done might I add. I spotted some topepo rosso seeds in there yesterday for 80p, I had bought mine a few weeks back from Mr Fothergills as they were the only seed catalogue that stocked them, they were £1.59 I think. Much love to Wilkinsons for excellent choices and low prices.

OOH sorry Sylvan only just seen this - am not sure - they are bare root packets like Aldi?Lidl?Morrisons so I should imagine a fiver or under. I will look tomorrow if I get there.

[Moopmoop]

The fruit trees in my local Wilko were £7 or 2 for £11, I even scraped the bark off and they were green underneath!

[BarleySugar]

We walked through Wilkinsons with son no1 yesterday and saw a weed wand, for £20 including the gas cylinder. Son no1 persuaded me to buy the 'flame thrower', and practised on some marshmallows . I'll probably need more gas when we want to try it out on the weeds.

i told OH i had all the seeds i needed,but i have to go right past wilkoes later,i MAY look in ,just to see whats what.....

[lettucegrow!]

My favourite shop at the moment for all sorts of stuff. Got some red shallots and new pots that are now happily chitting. Will have to wait till I get paid or request bday vouchers to a big shopping spree!
