Free: Vegan baby milk substitute (Longden SY5) Can anyone use this? It's free of milk, lactose, egg,gluten,soya,peanut and treenut. It's made from pea protein and coconut with added vitamins and minerals. 12 months + It's only one serving so probably not worth a long journey.

Free: Bits and bobs! (Longden SY5) Gifted Just wondered if anyone could use any of these things: Garden fixing staples 20mm ,approx 150 - new item A brass bolt, no fixings, 75mm - new item 3 M6 x 50mm screw & nut kits to fit most cots - unused but pack open, 2 are the same but one is different so possibly these aren't all what it says on the pack! A light fitting consisting of ceiling rose and lamp holder A lamp holder (light fitting) A bit random I know - they have been sitting in my box of possibly useful items for many years, so I guess they weren't that useful.

55d

59d

Free: Two sturdy planks of wood (Longden SY5) Gifted Does anyone have a use for these planks? 152.5cm x 22cm x 7.5cm, they were in the attic supporting the water tank. I have been using one as a greenhouse shelf, per photo, and the other for weighting down another plastic greenhouse. Please state when you can collect please.

59d

Free: Plaque remover (Longden SY5) Expired Unused item. After researching online, I am not brave enough to use this in case I damage my teeth.

59d

Free: Le Creuset Cast Iron Pan (Longden SY5) Gifted Green pan - ovenproof, 30cm diameter, large capacity. Good condition. Love this pan, and sometimes it's the only one large enough to take all the ingredients, but it's pretty heavy and I think it's time for it to have a new home. Please state when you can collect, floods permitting!

65d

Free: GroCloche (Maxi?) (Longden SY5) Gifted The above plastic greenhouse is up for grabs. It really needs a new cover (I have seen them in Percy Throwers but I suspect cheaper online) as it's perished in all the weather, both good and bad. Please state when you can collect.

66d

Free: Strawberry plants (Longden SY5) Gifted Four tubs with strawberry plants in. They are 1-2 year old, some of which produced fruit this year. They really need some TLC, like feeding and planting in the ground or larger pots. First collection gets to choose the best ones etc. Have listed as separate lots but can all go to same person if they're all required. Please state when you can collect.

66d

Free: DVD player (Longden SY5) Expired A stand alone DVD player, kindly given by another freegler a few years ago. It's now surplus to requirements, so if anyone would like it, I would be happy to see it being rehomed.

Free: Garden umbrella and base (Longden SY5) Gifted Forest Green umbrella. The base is metal and very sturdy, also quite heavy. It's got a little faded over the years!

Free: Seeds (Longden SY5) Gifted A variety of seeds, as pictured. Sow by 2025/2026, most of them 2025. The second photo shows open packets but they're still in date (runner beans sow by 2024 but I would still take a punt on them) so don't want to waste them if anyone wants them.

91d

Free: Black and Decker scarifier (Longden SY5) Gifted Suitable for a smallish lawn. The front mounted collection bin has a smallish hole in (naughty mouse!) But as the machine is extracting moss which just sits in a fluffy mass, it shouldn't fall through. Mains lead. State when you can collect.

91d

Free: Seeding Square (Longden SY5) Gifted A totally unnecessary item, but one which makes sowing vegetable seeds very easy. Just look up the product on the included list if vegetables and sow according to the colour coding. Includes the dibber shown which has depth marks on, and the sowing funnel (when I find it, which should be easy enough as I have less and less stuff every day!) Please state when you can collect.

91d

Free: Raised bed kit (Longden SY5) Gifted An Aldi/Lidl raised bed kit, like the one in the photo. It's been used but still has plenty of life in it. Very easy to assemble. The pot is a 3L one, shown for scale.

112d

Free: Dustbin, no lids (Longden SY5) Expired Black, has a bit of a crack/hole near bottom so not watertight - store compost? Cut bottom off for growing rhubarb or spuds? Please state when you can collect.

115d

Free: Cardboard boxes (Longden SY5) Expired I have several cardboard boxes- about 4 or 5 would probably be OK for moving although they don't have any hand holds. I also have some (and some pieces) which would only be suitable for, say, composting or using to cover weedy ground before creating a raised bed. Any interest? Say when you can collect.

115d
