Various varieties of climbing plants have been reduced in Aldi down to a mere €1.49. That's ridiculous. Now they are very small but still ridiculous all the same.
They have these varieties amongst others:
Clematis (Comtesse de Bouchard)
Clematis (Niobe)
Clematis (Westerplatte)
Passion Flower (Caerulea)
Clematis (Piliu)
Hopefully they will grow!!!

Decent looking but not worthy of a bargain post! Off to your local builder providers and make one yourself, a lot cheaper.

About 15-20 worth of materials euro to build that.

80 euro isnt exactly a bargain.

Northumbria · 21-09-2012 11:02pm

Today I bought 4 French Lavenders for £2 each in Morrisons (incredibly cheap for mature plants!)
I also bought 2 Calluna vulgaris "Beauty Ladies" from B&Q - two for a fiver. I was up in the moors the other day and notice the wild Calluna vulgaris (heather) was flowering and looked great. Not sure what to do with it though since I don't plan on making a rockery. Maybe I can find a container for it.

zombiepaw · 26-09-2012 4:03pm

Good idea, never thought of the building suppliers, it would be quite cheap to make going that route

those closed bird boxes are useless. if a bird does decide to nest in it. it cant be cleaned out for the next year and unless you are putting them out in the wild no two sets of the same species will next that close to each other in your garden. and they should be north west facing.

Thanks for the input.:)

A long nose angled forceps cleans them out rather nicely.There is also a large drainage gap purposely built into the base of the nest boxes

A 40-50mm holesaw and a screwgun to enlarge out the entrance hole of the nest box works wonders for other slightly bigger bird species too.

It is important to put the nestbox up well before nesting season, as many birds begin their search for nest sites in February. Make sure to position your box well: ideally, fix it two to five metres high on a wall, fence, or tree trunk, where predators (including cuts and squirrels) can’t reach it. Do not nail the box to a tree, but use wire or a strap. Unless the site is very sheltered, the box should face between north and south-east to avoid hot sun and the west winds.

Lots of trays back in stock in Clarehall this morning...still 1 euro 20 cents each.:D

Heroditas · 12-02-2013 12:45pm

Aldi have some absolutely fantastic stuff on offer from Thursday:

ALDI Thursday 14th

Cold frame: €29.99
Raised border: €9.99
Fruit & Veg starter packs: €2.99
Seed and cutting trays: €4.99

Can't wait!!!

Plan is to put a load of seeds into my Aerogarden starter kit, get them going and then put them in the cutting tray and leave them in the cold frame for a while.

After that, I can transplant them into the raised borders and the glasshouse once I get some shelving for it.

paddy147 · 14-02-2013 10:00am

I'm not sure how widespread Wispy's are - there's one in Carrick on Shannon and one in Castlerea that I know of - but they have very cheap plants and seeds at the moment. Six packets of (foil wrapped) seeds for €5 or €1 each. Perennials, including roses and buddleias, at €5 for two or €3 each.

Obviously, buyer beware and you get what you pay for, but it seems bargainacious to me and the two buddleias I bought had nice healthy roots and stems.
