Greenworks 24v Cordless Trimmer/Edger (21247)

Greenworks 24v Cordless Trimmer/Edger (21247) was £99.95 now £79.95
Industry leaders in battery technology, Greenworks, have designed and built this top-quality trimmer/edger to be lightweight, easy to use and very reliable.Build quality and performance are incredibly impressive, providing a genuine alternative to petrol, especially when you look at the price of equivalent machines, and the advanced battery design means easier, cleaner, quieter trimming with no billowing fumes, and no unplanned trips to the petrol station.The 24v lithium-ion battery delivers up to 30 minutes of continuous run-time. That’s a full charge, but you can charge for a shorter time if you like, to top up or complete a half-finished job with no ill effect on the battery. Charging times are significantly shorter than equivalent Ni-Cads.Plus, the charge is not wasted, and doesn’t disappear when you store the trimmer away. You will find virtually the same power is there when you pick it up again, even after months.All of this makes the trimmer and its battery very cost effective and a sustainable way of getting enough power for your garden maintenance. The Greenworks 24v Cordless Trimmer/Edger has a cutting diameter of 25 – 30 centimetres using a strong, 1.65mm nylon line. The nylon line lets you work close up to walls, trees or garden ornaments with no damage.The battery design ensures that despite the power, vibration levels are kept low, as are noise levels, making it an ideal tool for urban or suburban use. The shaft is rotatable to 180

Musk Melon Seeds - F1 Emir

Musk Melon Seeds – F1 Emir was £1.89 now £1.69
Part of the James Wong Homegrown Revolution Range.Early fruiting. Sweet, juicy melons that you can grow in your garden – no greenhouse required! This superb variety, which fruits outdoors even in the UK, produces exotic fruits with tasty, fragrant orange flesh. Plant out after the last frosts and just watch them grow! Tastes like: Cantaloupe melon. Origin: Africa. Latin name: Cucumis melo.Once thought of as a resolutely heat-loving species, recent breakthroughs in melon breeding have transformed these natives of the African desert into something that can reliably fruit outdoors even on our blustery North Atlantic island chain. Treat a couple of these trailing vines to your hottest, sunniest site and be duly rewarded with up to six fragrant gourds per vine, whose sugary sweetness is almost unrecognizable to the pre-sliced, packing foam version at your local supermarket.Give your plant the sunniest, most sheltered possible position in your garden. A covering of thin black plastic laid over the soil, through which the vines are planted, will help further absorb and retain the suns heat around the plants roots and stems. Even bin bags will do for this purpose, pinned down with a few hooks of wire, as long as you ensure enough water gets to the roots. For best results cover your young plants with open-ended plastic cloches to get them off to the best start until they start to come into flower. These should then be removed to allow the bees in to pollinate them and ensure plenty of fruit. Sow: April. Harvest: July-October.
