We’re delighted to have teamed up with Homebase to run this Grand Draw. The five lucky winners will each receive a £50 Homebase voucher. The vouchers can be used throughout the store. As you know, they have a huge range of other products too.
However frugal I try to be each year I always need to invest in supplies for the cottage and garden. Compost and seeds are an annual outlay along with tools to increase our ability to be more self sufficient.
Our nearest home and garden store is Homebase and I always enjoy pottering about in there and checking out what’s on offer.
This year they have introduced a new Grow Your Own range. This is largely aimed at people with small gardens. This is great as often friends complain to me that they don’t have enough space to grow fruit and veg. Homebase is also selling a range of seed collections for smaller gardens – who wants to buy enough seed for a five meter row if you only have a balcony?
There are grow houses, mini greenhouses, foldaway grow bags and a good range of products for the garden. I was really tempted by a super potting bench which I thought was great value for £29.99.
Homebase are also selling the new Jamie Oliver garden range. These seeds and plants are a bit more expensive than the Homebase range but include smaller packs of unusual old varieties of seed potatoes – which are fun if you’d like to grow a broader range of spuds. The Jamie Oliver range of seeds includes some tempting veg that are not widely available.
Homebase also sells a wide range of vegetable seedlings, herbs, fruit bushes and trees alongside their annuals and perennials.
The competition will run from today until midnight May 31st 2011. Only one entry per person please.
To enter this draw just leave a comment below or tweet this post. The winners will be selected at random by June 3rd 2011 using a bit of software cunningly devised by Danny. The winners will be emailed or by DM for twitter.

wow £50 would be useful – even in my postage stamp garden!
Homebase do a nice line in tomato plants – I am late with everything this year due to a recent hip replacement ( and I am only 51!)my allotment associates are kindly preparing the ground for me to come back but I am trying to get my greenhouse up and running for this year – love planting toms, courgettes and herbs
I have always been inspired by the books Hovel in The Hills and Garden In The Hills both books about real self sufficient living the dream, really influenced my life

Oooh, good competition. That’d help me buy enough tubs to grow on all the pepper seedlings I’ve ended up with, or some better netting for the allotment!
never seem to go to Homebase but will be going now – thanks for that – raelly enjoy your blog and have learned lots!
Hello Fiona, hello Danny – I’d love to win one of these vouchers, not for me (no Homebase where we iive) but as a thank you gift for my Mum and Dad who could make great use of it. They love their garden, have limited funds, and they are such wonderful parents. And they have a big Homebase just around the corner. Thank you, and thank you for the blog.
Please enter me in the draw as well. Just started this year on my new veggie patch and desperately need some tools!
Please can you enter me for the draw – I have been eyeing up loganberries in there for our allotment! Thank you
A potting bench? Yes please!
Any chance to try new seeds is welcome here at Holly Grove – even better if they are as a result of a giveaway! Really enjoy your blog by the way!
