Saw this advertised as a pop-up cover for picnic/BBQ food but I wondered whether they might be OK for covering seedlings or strawberries . I haven't seen it so no idea how robust it is or how easy it would be to peg down.]]> https://www.poundshop.com/pop-up-food-co...-45cm.html

For example, Sarah Raven is asking £5.95 for 5 onion seedlings. Even if they grow into whopping great onions, they can't be worth £1.20 each - and that assumes they all grow.

I signed up ages ago and have only just realised that I haven’t received any of my three orders dating back to 28th February.
The only reason I remembered is that they sent an email trying to encourage me to place yet more orders.
It seemed like a good idea at the time - but three months is a loooong time to wait for a few plants!!]]> Anyone had any dealings with this lot?

I've bought these offers several times - if you want gladioli, lilies and dahlias, they're a bargain. Quality was good but I bought far more than I needed and gave away most of the gladioli. Half my dahlias are still growing in a cardboard box. ]]> https://www.gardeningexpress.co.uk/garde...85f351c0c2

I utilise cardboard a lot on the plot as a mulch. My local Aldi has a large  'craft' box by the door of flattened cardboard boxes with a notice 'Take what you need'
I am doing them a favour by getting rid of it for them and they are doing me a favour by letting me have it.

Each time I do a shop I pile a load of cardboard on top of my food trolley on the way out.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. During the recent drought conditions my soil under the cardboard was lovely and damp and stuff grew better there than on the uncovered part of the plot. ]]>
