I'm like a good value garden, and wondered what successes people have had with cheapo plants. I have discovered through my own trial and error (so many errors!) that sometimes, something that looks cheap at first glance doesn't work out so in the long run, and some just isn't great value for money.
For example, the Poundland raspberry bushes. Last year? Four dead sticks. However, this year, I picked one up much earlier in the year, popped it in a pot, and it's a happy live stick with lots of green leaves. Its not a great hit rate, though: I've effectively spent five quid to get one plant that made it.
So what has worked for you? What's got the best hit rate? Is it just my crap gardening skills making everything die...?
