It is for us.
Soil quality/texture and soil preperation is the key.:D

I can show you a few photos of whats involved in creating great quality soil.

Sonnenblumen

€5.00 each for a any bog standard herbaceous plant is not a bargain at all.

Says the man that likes to charge people 34 euro for an 8 foot pressure treated railway sleeper;):rolleyes: (18 euro in a builders providers)

ROFL at that.:D


Did you price any of these specific plants currently in any of the garden centres or diy stores in the immediate area of Tesco Clarehall or Tesco Artane Castle then???;)

Why dont you go back to giving out false/crap advice about Camellia and Laurel hedging...(and then try to worm your way out of it).;):rolleyes::rolleyes:

Im telling you a fact,which you dont seem to like too much..


Oh and what qualificatiins do you have again???

Please tell us all again


Do you want to go down this road again??

Bring it on so,if you really really want to.

You try to be smart and you dont like the fact that other people see right through you and see you for what you are.

paddy147

All planted now.

E7.99 in local Woodies,Atlantic,E6.99 in Homebase,and E6.99 in kinsealy garden centre aswell.

So 5 euro in the local Tesco in Clarehall and Artane (while I was doing the weekly food shopping) was a good deal for me.:)

Those that can do do, those that can't teach mouth off. Do something useful and sweep that backyard while you're checking the local bargains in Clare Hall.

Any further bickering from either Sonnenblumen and paddy147, and you'll be taking holidays from this forum!

You clearly have had differences with each other in the past, so I'd appreciate you not bringing those grievances here.

paddy147

I posted a thread about a bargain for anyone who was/is interested.;)

I posted some pictures and prices from that locality/area of Dublin too,that reflect the price of 5 euro being a good deal/bargain.

Sorry that the thread was degraded by some people who dont appreciate a gardening bargain.:rolleyes::(

Gardening doesnt have to cost a small fortune,as some would have you believe.




Oh and Tesco Clarehall got in a fresh batch of the flowers/plants the other day.

Even some bees on them too,which we rescued and released back outside (to the relief of the storer manager).:D





PS-There are people who cant get to a diy store or gardening centre and also do the food shopping too in the supermarket.
Some people have families,young children and stressfull jobs,where they cant find the time to go to all these various places.Its called LIFE.

So all I was doing was posting to let people know that Tesco were selling some nice flowers,and they could buy them there,while doing their food shopping.

I dont see any harm in that at all.


Oh and for the record,Im not a gardener,and have never claimed to be either.
But my missus is a fully qualified professional horticulturalist too....(Bsc Botanic Gardens)...as previously posted on boards.ie
She posts alot of threads and posts/pictures in the gardening forum about a wide variety of subjects (peat free compost,soil conditions,bees,beehives,trees,vegetables,flowers and many more aspects of gardening and ways to garden on the cheap too).

Just incase anyone wants to know.

Best Regards.:)

Jesus, you guys are pretty hardcore about your flowers.

Cheers Paddy, grabbed a few today

paddy147

Tesco Clarehall and Artane has pots of Salvias for 2 euro today.

The ones we looked at were in good condition too.

Didnt buy any,as we are all planted out...for now anyway.:D
