Free: Trailer (Allithwaite LA11) 4 foot by 3 foot, 12 inch deep, with a fibre glass cover. Bodywork, frame and tow strut is in fair condition, but the wheels have seized completely, so you will need a van or another trailer to collect this. Should be easy to source new wheels and attachments, as they are a well known brand, but don't know how much it would cost. If you can extract the bearings and replace them, they are probably less than £20 for a set.

Free: Towball Bike rack (Allithwaite LA11) As in the pics - a little rusty in places, but still sturdy and functional. Can carry up to 3 normal bikes, but wouldn't try more than one electric bike.

Free: Wormery (Allithwaite LA11) Gifted I made this wormery years ago from a pond filtration tank. It is about 15 gallons / 68 litres absolute volume, but with the drainage space at the bottom, quite a bit less than that. The mesh inside stops big bits and worms getting into the leachate, which you can take off through the tap at the bottom. The lid clips on quite firmly, so won't blow away, and keeps out the rain so it doesn't flood. This was capable of handling most of our kitchen waste, with occasional top ups of grass clippings for variety. The leachate (worm juice...) is great as liquid fertiliser in the greenhouse if you have one, or just wherever you have plants. The stand is just some old pallet bits, and is Ok at the moment, but would need replacing in a couple of years time...

Free: Sanding belts (Allithwaite LA11) Withdrawn These are very coarse - about half a dozen 60 grit. Total belt length is about 450mm

Free: Moving rollers (Allithwaite LA11) Gifted These are extendable rollers for putting under furniture, either permanently so it is easy to move back and forth, or just while you are shifting it around. As long as the weight is at the ends, they can carry quite a load, but will not support just in the centres

Free: Pond plants (Allithwaite LA11) Gifted Looking to spruce up your garden for spring? We have an old corner bath that would make a great pond either sunk into the ground or built up around the sides - the pic showsit full of the plants we cleared out last October, as well as the water so it doesn't leak! (must admit the weather has probably helped with that...) Alternatively, if you would just like some or all of the plants (flag iris yellow and possibly some blue, plus some other bits that are marginal plants) you are more than welcome. The bath has a shelf in the corner, so you can have shallow water plants too.
