Homebase potting bench
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.

I’ve always wanted to be Felicity Kendall and try and live “The Good Life”. This year Hubby and I have taken the plunge into semi-self sufficiency. I may not have Felicitys pertness, but our veg garden under way, our fruit trees and bushes planted, and last week our chickens arrived. We are looking into getting a couple of pigs too. I love your blog. I find it informative and inspiring. Thank you for taking the time and posting it
Wow, haven’t seen so many comments since the guinea pig debacle!
Glad to have a chance to enter.
I always enjoy reading your podcast and have used several of your recipes – we especially liked the slow-cooker bolognaise sauce.
Heres hoping we are successful in winning one of the vouchers as it will go a long way to help with our decorating.
Thanks for the blog.
My allotment buddy made a slatted bench out of a old disued zimmer frame, it looks great, so the 50 quid would have to go on something else like the Jamie oliver spuds. Finfers crossed WE get lucky
Great competition, would love the chance to win some Homebase vouchers, I have a never ending list of things I want for my garden, I just wish I had a ‘never ending’ garden to put everything in!
I love the look of the potting bench. All my cash is going on new windows this year so my only hope if winning that voucher.
A Homebase voucher would come in very useful while I try and get the ‘garden’ I have with the house I moved into late last year. It seems the only thing the last tenants buried were dog toys!
Oh, yes please! Peat-free compost, perlite, shelves for shed, seeds, plants… no wonder I ration my visits to Homebase!
Third time lucky. See if my comments come up this time. I would love to spend those vouchers on a potting bench like that. It would look good in my greenhouse too.
I need a potting bench – I’ve got a wall to work on at the moment but it’s just at that perfect back crippling height… That bench is probably what I’d buy with a voucher if I won. (I have a plan to make one out of scrap wood but I have plans to make lots of things out of scrap wood – anything I could outsource would be great! 😉 )
