Wilkinson's have extended their range this year with more branded products at highly competitive prices. On the right are 3 of their new Spear and Jackson secateurs, as well as their own-brand folding pruning saw. All are under a tenner - important if you are leaving tools locked in a shed on your plot! |
The geared bypass secateur (top right) makes cutting larger branches much easier. Unlike most secateurs, the safety catch is easy to use if you're left-handed.
The ergo-twist secateur (bottom left) has many of the features of professional secateurs six times the price, including a rotating handle that means you never get blisters, and shock-absorbing pads to prevent carpel tunnel problems.
The ratchet anvil secateur (bottom right) has a handle that helps cold fingers keep a grip, and a geared ratchet to make cutting effortless. Click on any picture to go to more info at the Wilko website.
Varieties stocked are as follows: FILL-A-BAG SEED POTATOES. There are two size bags, A £2 ONE AND A £4.50 ONE. You can put several different varieties in one bag if you bring some freezer bags and paper for your labels. I got 3 and a half KILOS of Wilja seed potatoes in a £2 BAG!

Not a massive selection, but the prices are brilliant and there are some old favourites there. get them soon as Wilkinsons have a warm environment and staff are worried about how long they will stay perky!
There are many more new products I haven't space for here, especially in the crop-protection line, so I would ay it's definitely worth your while to take a look. When the next open evening is planned we'll let you know!
