        Wow that's AMAZING!! It looks super Al!! You've really done loads of hard work and it's paid off massively. Maybe you and Sal should start a gardening business together!

                        Blimey that is exceptionally cheap :wow:

                        Wish I did have a hand in Lidl as they must be making a big profit compared to your local nursery :)

                          It most certainly is! The musas had a normal retail price on the pots of £7.99, ( the same as what I paid recently for one)

                          I noticed the DA had an original price of £300, ( I don't know the price of these in that size, but I did notice a garden centre locally had one smaller at over £250.)

                          Figure in the price of delivery, it's very cheap indeed, it would have cost over £50 alone just in diesel in a mates van, plus a bottle of something for letting me borrow it. Then the 8 hour round trip.......
