Free: Old Fridge Freezer (Parson's Heath CO4) Old Fridge Freezer model T424SL. Now let me tell you, the fridge cools down nicely, but the freezer doesn't cool but may still be used as storage space. I think that something is blocked & may be easily restored to full operational function. Dimension: H1200mm, W535mm, D585mm. It is a smallish FF & should fit inside a hatchback car with the rear seats folded down. I may be able to help move it, if my dodgy back is okay on the day of collection.

Free: French Sorrel (edible) (Parson's Heath CO4) Gifted Hi folks, I'm offering some French Sorrel; either a) fresh leaves, b) rooted plants, c) baby seedlings, d) seed heads. You tell me what is your choice & I’ll prep them for you. My sorrel produces leaves all year & even in the winter. I eat sorrel instead of & in addition to lettuce, raw & in salads / sandwiches - yum. Sorrel has proved far more resistant to slugs or snails than lettuce & crops far more heavily throughout the year. It also appears to be perennial, so it may feed you for life. What on earth is sorrel, I hear you say? "The edible bright green leaves of French Sorrel have an acidic flavour which is reduced on cooking. It can be used in salads, fish dishes and soups. It will grow to a height of about 60cm.” Please bring a bag to take the plants. Regards, John.

Free: Grape Vine Cuttings. (Parson's Heath CO4) Gifted Do you like wine? Well I do & have made wine on & off for 35 years or so; (yum -slurp). I have some cuttings from one of my grape vines (black grapes) that can be used to grow more vines. At this time of year they are green cuttings. Just cut them to 6" - 8" in length, dip in hormone rooting powder (optional), plant in a pot, water & talk nicely to them. In a couple of months you should have roots & new leaves sprouting. The photo shown is an old one of my vine taken when the grapes were still young & green. New vines from a garden center can cost £10 - £25 each. It costs nothing but a little effort & patience to grow your own for nothing. There are many videos on You Tube to show you how to start them off & the later care, pruning & wine making etc.

Free: Wood Pruning's - kindling from apple trees (Parson's Heath CO4) Expired Hi folks, I've got some pruning's from 2x apple trees for anyone that can make use of it. 1 medium pile from medium apple tree. 2 small pile from small apple tree. The wood is freshly cut & therefore has the sap in the wood; so to use as kindling, it would be best to store & dry-out for several months at least. The apple trees were different varieties & so the properties of the wood are slightly different. I'm guessing this may matter to anyone who may wish to use this to make pottery glazes from the ash. Collection from Parsons Heath, Colchester, CO4 area.

Request: Solar Panels (used but working) (Parson's Heath CO4) Expired Hi, I'm trying to get hold of a couple of old solar panels in working order, obviously in used condition. Aiming to generate about 400w - 500w of power max. Need them to have MC4 connections, but can be standard, folding or flexible types. Many of the older panels are now being discarded as no longer required or upgraded. Can collect within a radius of about 5x miles of Colchester. Just to explain; several people have replied, but they are trying to acquire panels for themselves & appear to have mis-read that I have this ad as a WANTED. I still need a couple of panels, if anyone has them spare please.

Free: Firewood (Parson's Heath CO4) Gifted Hi folks, I have some potential firewood on offer. It's from a freshly cut Buddleia tree, so needs to be dried for months before burning as firewood otherwise the sap within would produce too much smoke. I also have some Buddleia seed heads if anyone fancies growing a tree for yourself. Lovely deep purple flowers. I may have some more firewood in a week or so from other fruit tree pruning's.
