Starting a thread as suggested by roofgardener where members can review - good or bad - & recommend anything garden-related such as garden centres, mail order suppliers, gardens to visit, products or services which they have personal experience of. No commercial advertisers please.

went to a GC about 10 miles from me but decided not to buy any plants as they were riddled with hairy bittercress and I have enough bother with that without bringing in more. called Honeybourugh Garden Centre. Had stuff from there previously with no problems.

Bought this online and received it today a day earlier than expected so good there. linkHowever it was actually smaller than I thought, my fault as I didn't check the measurements Easy enough to put together but the screws supplied were far too small so had to use larger ones. No drainage holes in base but will drill a few tomorrow as I've given it a couple of coats of wood stain which I had . Also put a couple of small washers on the cord to stop it slipping through as only a thumb knot at the ends. the 'instruction' sheet wasn't much help and I had to do it slightly different but al sorted and ready to hang up tomorrow and if the little perishers ignore it they'll go hungry No doubt when my daughter sees it she'll halfinch it for her birds. ps it was type 3 but no metal in it just wood.

ROFL... and for £5.99, you're unhappy ? no not at all roofie. I'm used to getting things that don't work straight out the box and I believe vat was on top of stated price. A little better design would have made it more user friendly but I wasn't complaining just saying what I thought in a review.

Well, there is one weakness. The metal/plastic frame is fragile. So if you pick the HexaPlanters ® up, make sure you do it by the bag material rather than the frame. Apart from that sweetpea, - They are perfect, and
- You are just jealous because
- You don't have any Hexagons in your garden
