Yesterday I was sent some items to review from the Aldi UK gardening products line which are in their shops now. I was amused as, despite knowing my real name, Aldi sent the parcel to "The Compost Woman" lol .
There are a range of products available which should appeal to anyone looking to give their garden a kick start this spring.
I was sent a selection of items; some plant pots - which are, well, plant pots. Not much really I can add to that except to say they are sturdy and not flimsy pots.
Also some bypass pruners - these look robust and cut well and I was impressed with their action. I will probably keep them for cutting flowers and shrubs to bring indoors as decorations as I prefer to keep flowers and edible plant pruners seperate.
I was also sent a Greenhouse - and several spare covers. When I opened the box the contents were sturdy and easy to put together, but it has been so windy here I did not dare to put the errected greenhouse outside. When I do, I will post a photo and let you all know what I think. For now, I can see it will be a handy place to harden off plants before planting them out in the veg patch or garden and also as a useful sheltered space to house the surplus of plants I always end up with! I have already thought of a place I can site it, along the back of the barn near to the polytunnel for ease of access.
The Greenhouse is £19.99 and the spare covers are £4.99 so not overly expensive; also the covers say they fit most 4 tier greenhouses so not just those from Aldi I guess.
As far as I know the gardening offers are in store until the end of March so get along to Aldi and have a look - there are lots of other items available and they look to be a good price.
I was sent these items to review by Aldi UK.
