Free Garden Give Aways - Rake N scoop from Autumnmania.co.uk
3 Rake N scoop from to Give away
It strange how its always the less expensive pieces of equipment that seem to make the biggest difference in the garden. At £19.99 the Rake N scoop from Autumnmania.co.uk proves the point. For the last 6 weeks the team at GardenAdvice.co.uk have been putting it through its paces on a variety of jobs from raking up grass clippings to autumn leaves. Its been a great piece of kit to have around, it consists of a light weight scoop and a pop up bag. Both are extremely strong and sturdy and will last a good few seasons in the garden.
Good design with a lack of weight means less bending over than with a normal rake and container and so makes for an easier garden life.
We have 3 Rake N scoop to give away just drop us an email to rakenscoop@gardenadvice.co.uk with “Rake N scoop”
in the subject line by the 30th October 2005 and the first 3 emails randomly selected by the GardenAdvice.co.uk team will receive a Rake N scoop.
Give away open to members and none members
