Falkor Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hi I have just got back from Homebase in Great Yarmouth and they are selling 75litres of compost for £1.98 reduced from 3.98. They also have bark and woodchips reduced to £1.98, I think full price they were nearly a fiver. They also had lots of other gardeny bits reduced. I got some wellie mules (sim to crocs) in pink reduced from £13.00 to £2.48! I am not sure if this is ALL homebases or just yarmouth but I thought I would let you all know incase anyone is put and about tomorrow and wants to stock up for run cleans or mulching! I didn`t buy any (car too full, got layers pellets and Aubiose in it) but when I get back to St Neots I will be popping to local Homebase to stock up so I can complete the raised beds, paths and stash for the run!

surferdog Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I got two really big zinc troughs (approx 3 ft long by 1ft wide and deep) for 50p each in Basingstoke but didn't look at the compost, etc. Will have to go back tomorrow!

Redwing Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 My Homebase had the compost on offer but not much else The zinc containers were there stacked up but marked down to £5 so I will watch those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I clean the house and do my ironing or do I go and play in the garden with chooks? If the weather was fine, I'd have gone with the latter, the former can wait til it rains again!! I went to Homebase yesterday & got 3 "instant" plastic shed floors for £9.99 each (down from nearly £50 I think ), to put the new walking run on, so they are really easy to clean & light to move should I decide to. And a single wardrobe with a canvas cover for £14.99 to hang our coats in by the back door and hide some of the boots & clobber in. Thanks for the nod towards bargains !

Nicola O Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Zinc planters are £9.99 in my homebase so I'll have to keep and eye on them and see if they go down. Did get 70ltr bags of woodchips for £1.48 each though (should have been 3 for a tenner) I got 6 for a grand total of £8.88 - and I think I'll go back for another lot today.

Clur Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Fab, thanks for the heads-up. I'll go and take a look on Friday/Sat as we desperately need some wood chip for the run and I'd been Googling wood chip suppliers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
