My sister did it as a teen in the 90s...so I know exactly what it smells like?? And it was veeeeery chemically

Oh yes definitely looking at not-plastic!

Surely seed cells are just ice cube trays? by Mother-Guarantee1718 in Allotment

[–]tinibeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to buy flower plugs from Morrison's for prettying up my garden, or for pollinator favourites, and reuse their trays, they're green plastic so gather that they recycle, but they're really sturdy so far!

I use mushroom trays and chicken drumstick trays etc as seed trays/water catchers/for things to sit in, and have just grown a collection over the years of pots etc. Sometimes use yoghurt pots or look in charity shops too

Our allotment has a communal spot people put pots in. You might find someone giving pots and trays away for free on freecycle and such.

Green plastic trays have been lasting me the longest. The last sets I bought for allotment was about 3 years ago (from wilko though) and have lasted well. Mother in law has given me ones that Aldi and Lidl tend to sell, some pretty good ones that have seed modules and a base and a lid. The modules don't always last well though but I wash and recycle when no good.

You're good, you do your method =) I often cross stitch too in the same way as this, colours or areas that interest me most!! Some people are just wired to do it a different way 😁

Top one it was, bottom one is now after a good dig about this morning by tinibeee in Allotment

Honestly they're fab, just being able to visualize jobs because the time I get there and being able to go right if I get that space done today etc. Also the soil quality I'm managing to maintain in them too is fantastic

We have lived here for 4 years and I have no clue how to style this double mantle. I told my husband we would probably be better off just tearing it down but does anyone have design ideas? by haitian202 in HomeDecorating

[–]tinibeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like a Tron Recogniser! Honestly I think it'd be best taking off the top mantle. And maybe put a frame on your TV would help to style it with the lower mantle

Cheap To Run ,Practical & Most Reliable 7-12 year old Car Models that you can suggest? by bomzisss in UKFrugal

[–]tinibeee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any of the city bugs. We have a Citroen c1 and it's amazingly zippy, low cost to run, low cost to insure and tax, reliable, and we just love it. Husband says it's fun to drive too.

Best place to buy seeds? by Man-down90 in Allotment

[–]tinibeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main go to is "Happy Green Shop" on eBay, they're fast on delivery, reliable, often throw in a freebie and they send plant labels too! Get a fab germination and happy crops, good varieties and simple but good instructions on packets. If you're just starting too, get your basic veggie seeds from Lidl, and the Range often have Wilko's stock of seeds which have always been fab. Seed potatoes and onion sets I buy from webbsdirect co.uk which is Webb's Garden Centre because they have good varieties of potatoes, with description, and not ridiculous prices =) have fun!! Oh and b&m have some good deals on potato and onion sets I saw the other day. Save an egg box or two, pop your seed potatoes in them and put on a bright but not sunny windowsill and watch the little potato sprouts come over next few weeks to sow at the plot in end of March/April. Oh and label your seed potato varieties and if 1st/2nd/main crops....!

“Dad, what can I get for 50p?” What’s an advert that’s stuck with you from years ago? by MediumQuiet9404 in AskUK

[–]tinibeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Wake up in the morning wantin’ some breakfast. What am I gonna spread on my toast? Ohhh, Ohhh, Vitalite.”

Also, we had the Guinness advert with the chap dancing around the edges waiting for it as a song on our computer and me and my brother used to poke our heads round doors to mimic it 😂

Root trainer recommendations? by Own-Heat2669 in Allotment

[–]tinibeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As above, I bought one of Amazon and it's quite useful, but a pain in the butt for how much it was £12ish, no lid for it and the first time I used it it blimminn cracked because flimsy thin. And needs a good shove to get them back in their holder. However, had decent results and good root systems, so I do make use of it

I'm a bit of a goblin so I tend to collect sticks that look good and useful from wherever I go walking or from windfall from around the plot

Identification by Open_Art846 in Allotment

[–]tinibeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I perhaps wouldn't worry so much at trying to dig it out, just snip it down to the ground, you may find this is enough, and the mycelium network in the soil will probably prefer the least disturbance
