Free: Plant pots and Seed Sowing Containers (Two Dales DE4) Gifted Plant post and various seed sowing containers. There are, as you can see from the photos, quite a few, so I’ll leave them on a while to see if more than one person wants some. If so I’ll divide them up. If it’s only one person, that’s fine, I’ll just be happy for them to go on and be of use.

Free: Printers (Two Dales DE4) Withdrawn We have two printers available. An A3 Canon and A4 HP. The HP was working perfectly last time I tried it so it should be fine. The Canon has sat doing nothing for well an over a year. The computer has been updated over that time and my partner can’t get the drivers on it now. I can’t vouch for it working but if you’re a person who can work with these things and would like to give it a try you’d be very welcome to have it.

Free: Camassia (Two Dales DE4) Gifted 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.“

Free: Aggregate (used) (Two Dales DE4) Expired 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.

Free: Pulmonaria Plants (Two Dales DE4) Gifted 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.

Free: Aggregate / Rubble (Two Dales DE4) Expired 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.

Request: Turf Lifting Spade (Two Dales DE4) Expired 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.

Request: Wood Store or Pallets (Two Dales DE4) Expired Hi, we need a wood store to prepare for winter. I wonder if anyone might have one they don’t use. Failing that if anyone has any pallets looking for a home my partner could have a go at making one. Thanks in advance
