Camassia (Two Dales DE4) Gifted 116d - Hi, I’ve been lifting camassia from the garden as it’s beginning to overwhelm the flower beds. I have quite a few bulbs, enough for a couple of people if more than one would like some. It’s flowered already for this year so the photos are just from the internet to show what it looks like, as is this description. “Loose spires of blue or lilac, star-shaped flowers appear on top of tall stems in late spring. Originally from damp meadowlands in North America, this bulbous perennial is perfect for naturalising in a wildflower meadow. It will happily grow in moist soil or partial shade as long as the soil doesn't become waterlogged. Take advantage of its brief flowering season to brighten up a border before summer perennials take over.“

Bamboo Garden Canes (Two Dales DE4) Gifted 117d - Assorted sizes and condition. Only the bamboo canes, not any metal ones in the photo.

Aggregate (used) (Two Dales DE4) Expired 122d - A quantity of used aggregate. As it’s been used it has some soil in it. It would work if you’re fill a base with rubble. There are about 6 bags, at a guess I’d say each weighs 15kg ish.

Pulmonaria Plants (Two Dales DE4) Gifted 124d - I’ve been doing some thinning in the garden and now have quite a few pulmonaria, and a couple of other things, looking for new homes. The last photo is just to show them in flower. They’re great for pollinators in early spring.

Aggregate / Rubble (Two Dales DE4) Expired 125d - We have a 7 bags of aggregate that has been used so has some soil in it. It was put in by a builder laying a patio who over shot the footprint by a fair amount. I’m having to lift the excess in order to plant around the perimeter. I’m sure it can be reused.

Plastic Bags - heavy weight (Two Dales DE4) Received 160d - Hi, I need to, temporarily, bag up some soil and need some bags to put it in. Something like old compost bags would be great. Ideally in the Darley Dale/Matlock area.

Turf Lifting Spade (Two Dales DE4) Expired 203d - Hi, a bit of a long shot. I need to do some repair work on our lawn which includes lifting and replacing areas of turf. I’ve used one of these lifting spades in the dim and distant past and found it worked well. I’m just wondering if anyone has one they no longer need as it would help immensely with this job.

Rhubarb (Two Dales DE4) Expired 1y - I’ve just got around to lifting and splitting my rhubarb, a little late but hopefully it will be okay. If anyone would like some of the surplus there are a few pieces looking for a home. You’ll need to bring a bag, bucket or some such to carry it in.
