Freecycle – what a great thing!

Freecycle really is an allomenteers best friend. Having many plans and aspirations for the allotment the next hurdle was to find the raw materials, Freecycle comes up trumps with so many useful things up for grabs. Having been the beneficiary of a few items from Freecycle I thought I would keep a list of them here…

  • Paving Slabs, 24 qty, various sizes
  • Garden Shredder
  • Paving Slabs, 5 qty, 2ft by 2ft
  • Garden bench and matching chair, seen better days, bench OK but chair maybe beyond repair
  • Waterbut with lid and tap, tap a bit leaky (correction, was loose, now working fine)
  • Lightweight concrete blocks, 13 qty
  • Garden bench in really good condition, cast iron with wooden slats, very pleased with this!
  • Pots – lots of them for seedlings, various sizes
  • More pots – 3 dustbin bags full, I think I have enough now ;)
  • 3 x White reclining garden chairs – very good condition, picked them up as a bonus when I got the 3 bags of pots.
  • Topsoil, 15 bags – around a tonne – phew!
  • More topsoil – 4 bags
  • Big pots, 6 big pots that will be perfect for tomatoes and cucumbers, a hanging basket and lots of short canes
  • Wheelbarrow – old, rusty and perfect! Had a flat tyre which just needed pumping up.
