    Hi Guys,

    No idea if this is a bargin, i have just spread some sulphate of iron out on the lawns and was wondering if this aerator / scarifier is any good?

    http://www.lidl.ie/cps/rde/xchg/SID-9B0251DA-161CF798/lidl_ri_ie/hs.xsl/index_29485.htm

    Would this be any good for a 1/2 acre lawn...

    Sorry my fault and my appoligy to you.

    I didnt read your post correctly.:o

    I somehow thought you wanted shiplap cladding.
    Sorry.



    24 quid for a ahiplap fence panel is about as good as it gets.

    Thats what most of the builders providers are currently charging.:)

    Excellent. Thanks for the link.
    A load of us on the road got double picket fencing a few years ago and got a good deal because we bought them in bulk.
    However, I only did one side at the time. Might ask the new neighbour if she wants to go 50/50 and get some to replace the dividing fence between us. The original one is still just about standing and is in awful condition.

    Readers might bear in mind what is what. There's a big difference between a Shiplap panel and a Lapped panel. The latter is basic and commonly available < € 20.00/panel, so €20/panel is no bargain.

    Similarly a 4.8m x 150mm Shiplap/weathersheeting boarding is a narrower size of the usual size (170mm x 5.4m) and at € 8.50/length is no bargain either.

    More like spot the con and not a bargain.

    Do you ever stop whinging and complaining??

    Thats all you ever do on this forum.

    You dont post any bargains though for some strange reason......


    So either post a bargain or 2 or else go off and complain elsewhere.

    What's the point in posting about 'bargains' if you cannot tell the difference between a shiplap panel and a lapped panel?

    Paddy, I may not be Sonnenblumen's biggest fan, but he is entitled to his opinion on something like this if done so in the proper manner. You both have history, fair enough, but you have no right to tell Sonnenblumen to stop posting in this thread.

    Well maybe he could actually back up his post above regarding PT fence panels and shiplap cladding comment of "20 euro and 8 euro 50 cents being a con and not a bargain".....funny that I dont see any prices/links from him on this thread.....wonder why???



    So instead of constantly posting these types of posts...maybe he should go and post an actual gardening bargain or 2 (with links/pics) on this "gardening bargain alerts thread"..........for a change.


    Thanks.

    Tesco Ballybrack are doing Westland slow release plant food for 75% off which worked out at €2.13 (bought some Friday and just remembered to post about it now).
    Pretty spectacular bargain, I bought two boxes! There was plenty there too, might head back tomorrow whilst herself is asleep and hide a couple of more boxes in the greenhouse!

    Paddy hope you dont mind me using your photo of the stuff from before!

    Edit: Corrected price, still some left!

    Aldi have some great selections of bedding plants and hanging baskets - http://aldi.ie/ie/html/offers/special_buys3_26491.htm. People were wheeling out trolley loads of the stuff this morning in the Bray branch. Missed the begonias but am sure they will be back. Spent most of the day planting them, in the sun, great stuff!
