Cinnamon Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) There always seem to be a lot of gardening freebies,seeds mostly,around this time of year so I thought I would start a thread where we can share knowledge of them. Birde Eye are giving away free pea,carrot or Sweetcorn seeds with their packs of frozen veggies,via Facebook Edited March 21, 2012 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gertie Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 My partner just brought me home 2 bags of coffee grounds from Starbucks to use as nitrogen rich fertiliser. I've spread it on my garden. Let's see how the veggies grow. If my garlic tastes of coffee then 2 of my favourite flavours unite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad my habit will now have a use. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Sid told me to spray my tubs & pots with WD40 to prevent slugs from climbing up them. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Good tip - I shall try it. Previous slug deterrent measure I have tried have included sellotape sticky side out seems to stop them (I didn't have double sided but I am sure that would have been much easier to put on ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
