You are very welcome alythonian, I hope you got the plants that you wanted.
I went back to Aldi to b*y some compost for my new plants, and found that my local store was clearing out a lot of their gardening equipment at 50% discount, to make way for new stock.
It's not bad quality stuff (obviously nowhere near as good as Stihl branded or other really good professional kit), but even for the original price they are unbeatable value for money in my view. My gardening equipment gets a pretty hard life, so it's really great to know that this stuff is fully parts and labour guaranteed for 3 years! At 50% discount, it would be stupid and bordering on rudeness
not to b*y some.
I got the following:
Electric Pole Pruner was £59.99 reduced price £29.99
Electric Hedge Pole Trimmer was £59.99 reduced price £29.99
Electric Hedge Trimmer was £29.99 reduced price £14.99
Pack of two bypass and straight pruners was £4.99 reduced price £2.49
I've linked a couple of pics showing my new purchases, so you get an idea of what they are like. Just need to put them to use now!
Its worth remembering that ALDI discounts are individual to each store, and it is the local shop manager who decides when, if and how much to discount his end-of-line goods by. It may well be that they are not reduced yet at your store, or maybe they are sold out. Don't be shy. Try talking to the manager to get the price down as far as possible. They are always keen to shift old stuff so they have room to get the new stock in. 50% off is the best I've ever seen their stuff go for, so start somewhere around that mark.
