Default Seed catalogues

Hi Shannie, I don't know if you get places like LIDL/ALDI or
superbuy/poundstretcher etc in Ireland, but these can be a good source of
cheaper seeds. One place near me did all their flower and veg seeds at 4
packets for £1.00

Yup...we have lidl but the only seeds this year were herbs and not as cheap
as yourselves unfortunately However, they are quite new here so maybe
next year they'll have a bigger range, fingers crossed


See also Wilkinsons or larger Asda stores. Or indeed any good B&Q /
Sainsburies or other large supermarket.. I mention ASDA as they are
owned by US Walmart now and poss a good source of cheaper goods (inc
seeds)

Also if you have a horticultural or allotment society near you, you can

club
together to get discounts from suppliers. If you don't have an allotment,
they may let you join as an outside member to use the facilities.


Believe it or not we don't have allotments here in Ireland, at least none I
know of or have ever heard of, isn't that weird?


One word.. 'potatoes'..

At least thats what a lot of the irish allotmentholders near hear seem
to grow (and very well too) But mebbe thats a stereotype;-)
