Request: Rake for gathering cut grass (Tattenhoe MK4) 17d - It's a bit tedious by hand on the allotment, so if anyone has an old rake going spare, I'll happily re-home it. Just needs to be usable, nothing fancy (regretting freecycling my inherited rake many years ago in pre-allotment days lol) Request: Chicken wire/wire mesh/similar (Tattenhoe MK4) 26d - Any wire mesh offcuts eg from chicken or rabbit runs or anywhere would be fab - I'm hoping to make a little cage from wire and posts to make leaf mould in for my plants. Ideally not too far from Tattenhoe but am happy to collect :) A few metres would be ideal, but size is flexible.

Free: Dill seeds (Tattenhoe MK4) Withdrawn 35d - Bought on a whim on sale though I don't really have space for another herb and wouldn't prioritise dill! Needs sowing this year. Have sown half the pack and won't use the rest so wondered if anyone else wants to try them. Can leave outside for easy collection from Tattenhoe.

Free: Bird house (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 50d - Old bird house that I can't attach anywhere now fence posts have been changed to concrete! I don't think it was ever used as it's quite clean inside, but maybe in the right spot it can help some birds :)

Request: Wellies (size 6/39ish) (Tattenhoe MK4) Withdrawn 65d - Would like to see if it's easier on my soggy allotment in wellies, so would love to try any old pair as long as they're still waterproof! Free: Bag of plastic packing noodles (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 76d - For packing/posting, using in a hamper, lucky dip, etc... Don't think they recycle so am hoping someone can reuse them!

Request: Paving slabs (Tattenhoe MK4) Expired 165d - Any paving slabs would be gratefully received, for making paths on my allotment. Can collect. Free: 900ml spray bottle (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 173d - Only ever used for water but I have a few so clearing out. Collect from Tattenhoe, I can leave it on the porch whenever convenient.

Free: Vegan wax food wrap (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 173d - Got this free a while back and have never had occasion to use it so time to pass it on! I can leave it on the porch for collection whenever convenient.

Free: A dozen vegan recipe cards (Tattenhoe MK4) Expired 180d - Lovely recipe cards from The Vegan Kind (big pics of the food on the back), with holes but I don't have the binder. Anyone want to add to their collection? Can leave outside safely for simple collection :)

Free: New red recycling sacks (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 202d - I'm in a sack not a wheelie bin area so got all the new sacks, but I compost all my paper so don't need the red ones. Could be useful for spring cleans or something though. I've already got enough spare clear sacks so wondered if anyone could use these?

Free: Injured dragon box (Tattenhoe MK4) Expired 210d - Super cute steampunk dragon box, pen not included but to show size :-) The dragon did have an encounter with my cat and lost the end of his nose and raised paw, which I couldn't save to glue on, but there's still life in him yet!

Free: Phone holder for car CD player (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 232d - Fits into the CD slot. Works ok if your phone isn't too heavy, mine is so it can work loose especially over lots of potholes! Hence I've changed to a different style one, but someone might want to try this style :)

Free: Senior (7+) cat biscuits (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 232d - My cat's diet's changed - obvs as soon as I'd bought a new big bag! Open bag but lots left

Free: DSL (phone) cable (Tattenhoe MK4) Expired 259d - I don't need to keep so many spares! XD Anyone need one before it goes for recycling?

Free: Short micro USB to USB cable (Tattenhoe MK4) Expired 259d - I don't need to keep so many spares! XD Anyone need one before it goes for recycling?

Free: USB number pad (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 259d - Tested, still working fine, useful if your keyboard doesn't have a separate number pad

Free: ethernet cable (Tattenhoe MK4) Expired 259d - I don't need to keep so many spares! XD Anyone need one before it goes for recycling?

Free: Mini USB to USB cable (Tattenhoe MK4) Expired 259d - I don't need to keep so many spares! XD Anyone need one before it goes for recycling?

Free: Old AV/TV cables (Tattenhoe MK4) Expired 260d - Think these came from TVs, wondered if anyone still uses these kinds of connections?

Free: Flute sheet music (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 263d - Book of flute solos and a few other sheets of flute music

Free: Small clipboard (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 264d - Approx 23x14cm. In good condition - barely used.

Free: 28cm plant pot (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 264d - Not too old but the yellow is faded a bit in the sun. 28cm diameter at the top. Plastic

Free: Blackboard and chalk (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 266d - Ikea Svensas blackboard, used with chalk pens which left annoying ghosting hence I've switched to whiteboard. So there's still some ghost text there but it's still usable :) Loads of chalk too, I tried that but couldn't get used to the squeaking!

Free: Paperwork folders (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 266d - Four paperwork folders, hold just larger than A4 (ie can hold a4 in pockets comfortably. Good condition still.

Free: Boxing hand wraps (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 266d - Regular fabric, not the stretchier kind. Probably 1.5-2m, couldn't face unraveling to measure XD Used in the past a bit but washed and clean. Tough fabric so prob also other uses (I'm keeping my second spare pair for tying stuff!)

Free: 20cm saucepan (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 275d - 20cm saucepan with lid, condition fine inside but coating on the base has worn off quite a bit - should still be fine on the right kind of hobs or can maybe be repurposed.

Free: Cardboard posting tube (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 293d - About 135cm high. Very strong - I can't break it down for recycling but better reused anyway!

Free: Secateurs (broken spring) (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 293d - Pair of garden secateurs, still strong enough to cut stuff but the spring is broken so when they're closed, they don't reopen automatically. Way too annoying for the amount of cutting I do, hence replaced, but if you don't need them for much work, they might do the trick... Can leave on porch for simple pickup.

Free: Marble fireplace surround (Tattenhoe MK4) Gifted 296d - Took out the fireplace so this surround is going spare. Good condition except now cobwebby! Just some gluey bits around where it was attached. About 88cm square total, with the gap in the middle being about 58cm wide and 42cm high.
