Free: Metal garden edging (St Leonards TN38) Corrugated metal edging for the garden. Was used around the base of a greenhouse (so has old nails through it at intervals) but could be used for edging a lawn or at the base of a fence, for example. I can measure the length if you need to know.

Free: Greenhouse (St Leonards TN38) Gifted 5'6” wide x 6'10” long greenhouse with sliding door and internal shelves - posting for a neighbour. There are a couple of smashed panes but they have spare glass panels to replace these. The greenhouse will need to be dismantled by the collector and requires two people to carry the frame and panes along tight paths through the back garden and a narrow side gate to the road. If you are interested, it may be best to come take a look at it first to see what the access is like and what tools you’ll need to dismantle it.

Free: Aster (Michaelmas Daisy) (St Leonards TN38) Gifted Lots of freshly dug up aster(Michaelmas Daisy) with roots. These grow easily and give autumn colour with purple and yellow flowers. The photo of them in flower is from last year. The photo of dozens of individual stems in a bucket is what I’m offering (in water, to keep them from drying out). Last photo is one of the individual stems with roots. Please note: bucket not included! Take as many or as few as you’d like.

Free: Electric Radiator (St Leonards TN38) Expired DeLonghi electric radiator - 2000W This is over 20 years old - one foot is missing and the other foot is broken (see photo) but it works and gives instant heat. I doubt it’s very efficient but could be a good temporary heat source. I used to prop it up on a book at the missing foot end - since it needs to be slightly raised off the floor - and lean it against a piece of furniture as it’s not very stable.

Free: Electric grinder for coffee beans/spices (St Leonards TN38) Gifted Vintage Braun grinder - it’s old but still works for grinding coffee beans and spices. Please note: - the end of one of the blades has snapped off (see photo) so you have to run it for a bit longer to get desired fineness -the top of the button to activate the grinder (on the lid) has previously broken off and been glued back - there is a hairline crack in one side (see photo) None of these things stop it working - it’s a great little grinder!
