    Is that all Tescos? I'm in the market for a cheap and cheerful light electric mower for a pain in the behind bank that needs maintaining... Sick of either hauling the petrol up and down it or having to strim and rake. :o

    I see these trays online for 8 each with 5 euro total delivery - http://www.abbeygardensupplies.ie/garden_products/grow_bag_tray_P577.html
    Never heard of them before but seem like the answer to my greenhouse prayers!! Definitely will be getting a few of these , should stop water spilling all over the floor causing mould in winter and soil getting everywhere. Anyone seen them in a shop in Dublin recently - pref southside? Would like fairly sturdy ones i could get a few years out of.

    Have a weather station?, why not join the Ireland Weather Network - http://irelandweather.eu/

    Thanks Paddy, are they fairly tough?, looking for as rigid and hardy as possible.
    Will be out in Lucan on Friday so that suits me fine.

    They're great. I only have one, it holds 12 litres of water so it gives you a few days peace of mind.

    I only threw one of these out in the black bin this morning (the stand) because anyone I asked didn't want it. My OH bought one that you put on the side of the shed (though you can take it down if you need to) from Homebase last weekend. I found the stand kind of fiddley, having to hold it down with one foot rolling it out or reeling it in. It would be worth considering the ones that you can stick on the wall.

    Time to start thinking about lawn maintenance for next year. This stuff will make a great difference and help the grass over the winter. Leave it till October to put down though.

    Would that be safe to use where hens and birds have access to lawns?
