im going right now (well, few minutes) 'cos i want a tub to put me blueberry bushes in.

I love wilkos. If they sold wood as well i wouldnt shop anywhere else.

It was my lads birthday last week and we got all the party stuff from wilkos and hardware i needed for the chook 'ouse, spent £50! but we had a basket overflowing with stuff.

I put my postcode into the Wilkos website and it came up with a map of the Western Isles. I was not deceived however and I charged down to Stratford where they now have a giant shop. I bought loads and it only came to £20 - really tough seed trays 3 for 99p, BF&B, seeds, vermiculite and all sorts. I had to get back to work so I couldn't look round properly so look to your laurels Homebase and B&Q

I spent £17, but i did get a tub big enough to have a bath in, two smaller tubs, 2 sacks of ericacious compost, a load of seeds and some onions sets.

Anyone looking for a wilko's store can use there on line store finder it's Here I'm lucky living in Leicester there are plenty, it's where they originate apparently. Even luckier my son works for them so he gets staff discount

Have you ever read "Cost effective self suffiency or the middle class peasant " ? It was my starting point like a smack between the eyes, never been quite the same since.

I have got a few packets of seeds from Wilko's in the past and they have all grown

I got some Amsterdam forcing carrot and sweet peas (to keep my old dear happy! lol) last week and intend to keep nipping in to see what's new, don't know if I've missed the seed potatoes hope not..
Off subject I get most of my fishkeeping bits from there and 1 of my mantid tanks.
