Hi everyone. I was pottering about near the main entrance at Whilton Locks Garden Village, the other morning, when I noticed Big Tom.

Not Big Tom from the Depot, delivering some new House Plants (see here for more), but Big Tom, the rather marvellous Big Tom, deep filled, Tomato Planter compost.

Big Tom Peat Free Tomato Planter is a compost that fosters robust root growth and supports the well-being of tomato plants. It contains nutrient-rich components and seaweed that enhances crop quality and increases fruiting. By incorporating moisture retention technology and a calcium-rich formula, the risk of blossom end rot is minimized. Moreover, the planter actively nourishes the tomato plants for a duration of up to six weeks. Our Big Tom planters come in at a small price, at just £6.99 each or 2 for £12.

For an increased yield of terrific tomatoes, the deeper fill planter is a great choice and, when paired with the Big Tom Super Tomato Feed, the results are even more remarkable.

Big Tom Super Tomato Food now gives you 3 times more*, bigger, healthier as well as tastier tomatoes, all season long. Big Tom Tomato Food has a unique PlantSense Technology. This means there is just the right amount of nutrients and a water management system perfected to work with peat free growbags and planters. Including iron and magnesium to give you greener plants, it is also rich in seaweed for healthy root growth, giving you great tasting tomatoes. Our Big Tom Tomato Food is available now for £5.99.

Last time Big Tom was in – this time I am referring to Big Tom from the Depot, as opposed to Big Tom the rather marvellous deep filled, Tomato Planter compost, and equally marvellous Big Tom Super Tomato Food – I asked him how his grapes were, as last year we sold him a couple of vines. He said that they were far better now, ever since he bought some of our lovely new, super comfortable, Hartman Garden Furniture. Big Tom (from the Depot) was super impressed with our range, quality – the fact he could have a try before he’d buy – we guess he ought before he bought – and, as we had it in stock and he was relatively local, we delivered the same day. Just in time, said Tom, as they were planning a big family get together.

Our Garden Furniture range is now fully open and looking spectacular. It offers the biggest range, the best choice, the best quality (with great names like Hartman), the best prices (with our price match guarantee) and in stock for immediate delivery – free if you are within 15 miles of us. Big Tom recommends us.

In fact, our whole site looks lovely for the May bank holiday weekend. We have enjoyed a couple of lovely sunny days and the staff have all worked super hard displaying everything. We are fully stocked and have a huge choice – with the very best prices. We’d love you to come and see us.

Phones ringing. Ah, I’ve got to go as we have a new delivery from the Depot – a load of compost super – and today’s driver? It’s Pete Free.

See you soon
