Save Money On Seeds!
Savings in the region of 50% can be made if you buy through the "Seed Scheme" as run by The National Society of Allotments and Leisure Gardeners Ltd.
We looked at 9 commonly grown vegetables (beetroot, leeks, lettuce, parsnip, tomato, peas, broad beans, runner beans A dwarf French beans).
For the Seed Scheme the total for the nine packets of seeds is under £ 6.00, but nearer £ 14 for a leading brand.
Part of the difference can be explained by fewer seeds in the packets, but a comparison based on 100 seeds still indicated great savings ( £ 8 compared with nearly £ 17). Good news which ever way you look at it!
To have access to the Seed Scheme, join Newark Allotment Society NOW!
