WOW! What an excellent response! Thanks so much for all the advice!

Thermos flask and some gloves will be my first purchase then!

Dear me, mushy, I'm glad I haven't done that, heart attack hazard. :shock:

it's still cheaper than going to the pub most mights

No wheelbarrow then?

don't need them - the main hut has a few for everyone to use. I have a couple of those flexible plastic bucket things (trubs) for dragging weeds and stuff around in.

Definitely gloves, james. Most people don't handle tools right and quickly develop blisters. They're also good against itchies like nettles, raspberry canes, etc.

If you find the need, then invest in a double-wheel  barrow rather than a single. Best money I ever spent. Takes all the weight off your arms and shoulders, and they're designed to easily tip for you rather than having to shove all that weight upwards. Mind, you'll need to chain and lock up such a prize.

And when you find some leeky old hoze pipe and/or any hoola hoops ... cut them into lengths and use as cloche supports!!

Very smart.

all the above plus a sun lounger  

and a Tractor the size of Muntys :shock:

I have an old piece of leftover hosepipe that I cut off pieces which I thread with wire or strong string and use the hosepipe bit against fruit tree trunks when tying them to supports. Saves any digging or rubbing by direct string or wires.

Oh yes! I've skip dived for pieces of wood, an old bbq stove, a net curtain, wooden planters and more.  I'm always on the lookout for anything that will come in handy on the plot. I chitted my potatoes in egg boxes  

[splodger]

Huh :!:  :?:  :?

You're tryin to confuse me, right?

[gobs]

No, she isn't, Jac, it just one of those jokes, a delicate , well-mannered, polite lady like yourself would not even think of.    Just chittering.

Oh  

Coz my potatoes were thriving fabulously last time i saw them (2 weeks ago :cry: ). We've had frost for a few days, so i hope they're still well... :?

James - How's it going? Don't forget that if Freecycle don't come up with anything it's always worth posting again - new people joining all the time.

Cheers.
