Request: tarpaulin to cover 8 x 5m area (Dimbles WS13) URGENT LOCAL REQUEST - NEEDED IN LICHFIELD, STAFFS. Has anyone got a large or several smaller tarpaulins/thick clear sheet, I could borrow for a while. Apparently I’ve just learnt that I need a transparent and waterproof covering, as I need to trap heat and moisture to create “solarisation” which “cooks” the bamboo and its rhizomes. The area I need to cover is roughly 8m x 5m. It is to cover bamboo after it has been sprayed with weedkiller (natural), and I need to keep out the rain for a few days. Many thanks, and for ! sake do not plant this stuff it is evil and we do not have pandas! It is not meant for the UK and garden centres should NOT be selling it. Lynn

Free: Apples - windfalls, cookers & eaters (Dimbles WS13) Expired Mix of cookers & eaters windfall apples. Some more bashed than others, but feel sure they could be cut about and make excellent pies/crumbles/sauce etc. Not really good enough for straight eating really. There will be others to follow when ready to pick from trees. Will leave out front, just take as many as you can use.
