Aquarium plants (Hollingdean)
82d
- I'm just setting up a new fish tank and want to get it planted. I'm particularly hoping for plants that spread, so they fill in empty spaces and give it a natural random appearance. If you have anything like that which has spread too much and can be thinned out a bit, it would be great to grab some off you. Don't mind if they are short or tall, floating or rooted. Anything would be appreciated. Thanks
Request:
Rockwool insulation (Hollingdean)
88d
- I just need a small amount, maybe a carrier bag or two. Seems crazy to have to get a whole massive pack, so if you've got a bit spare/leftover, I'd be really grateful.

Capsule Halogen light bulbs J118 (Hollingdean)
Expired
196d
- No idea what these are from or why I've got them - I think they were left here by a builder years ago. There are 5 of them. The screenshot from Screwfix is not necessarily exactly the same thing but looks like it is as far as I can tell...
Free:
Herbal/flavoured tea (Hollingdean)
Gifted
211d
- An assortment of teabags as shown in photo. Please note the camomile and 'Lychee and Pineapple' are past their Best Before dates - but there is no 'Use by' date so still fine. Susskirsche means sweet cherry.

Left over "Post Crete" bags (Hollingdean)
Expired
343d
- A just-add-water cement mix. Dig a hole , add some water, chuck this in on top. I was sceptical but it was literally that easy. There is about 3kg of a 20kg bag left so only for small projects. Maybe usable in a mold for art ideas? Edit! - I actually have almost a complete otherbag. I was going to return it as I hadn't opened it but it turns out that there was a small hole in the bag and somehas set. I'm not sure how much has gone but it feels like it's only a small but in the corner so maybe 90% or more still in it.

- Unearthed these on a path that's been buried for decades. Quite thick, various shapes sizes and colours. But all covered in dirt. So far I've unearthed from a path that was a couple of foot wide and about 10 foot long. There might be more to come

- There are 4 of them. 3 are inside the one you can see. They have had soil in them for the last year or so, so are a bit grubby. A couple of small splits and one has a broken handle but otherwise robust. May contain snails - included for free!

Metal mesh - sturdy, 10-25mm gaps (Hollingdean)
Expired
1y
- I've got a whole load of soil to filter, and want to get some fairly robust mesh that can withstand getting stony soil chucked at it, to stop the stones going through. I guess at least a 2foot square would be needed. Something like in the photo
