ALDI is selling a gadget crucial for protecting your plants this spring, and it's half the price of the B&Q version.
With temperatures set to soar again next week, and another bank holiday on the horizon, many of us are likely planning on spending more time getting jobs done in the garden.

Spring is a great time to sow an abundance of plants such as sunflowers, sweet peas and hardy annuals, to ensure that your garden is in full bloom for the summer.
And Aldi's 50L Raised Bed, is the perfect tool to get you started.
The £19.99 flower bed is a portable plastic greenhouse, perfect for displaying plants on balconies, patios or small gardens.
Its semi-transparent lid turns the raised bed into a greenhouse, providing plants with more heat, to help them flourish.
The product is super easy to assemble, and can easily be transported around the garden, to suit your needs.
And it's even made from weatherproof materials, so you don't have to worry about it getting battered by the rain.
The product is available as part of Aldi's Specialbuys, and can be found in the middle aisle of the supermarket now.
However, as with all Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone, so garden lovers should head over the budget supermarket now to avoid disappointment.
In comparison, B&Qs Garden Store Direct Raised Bed is priced at £44.99, making it more than double the price.
The B&Q product also acts as a mini greenhouse and is made with weather resistant materials, however, unlike the Aldi buy, the more expensive bed includes a self watering system, and water level indicator.

More Aldi Bargains
Shoppers will be delighted to hear that Aldi is bringing back its sell out garden range this weekend.
From Sunday, April 27, customers will be able to get their hands on the Rattan Effect Corner Sofa, priced at £199.99.
The bargain buy is easy to assemble, comes with seat and back cushions, and is built with a powder-coated steel frame and UV-protected rattan effect weaving for long-lasting comfort.
What's more, it is hundreds of pounds cheaper than similar products from B&Q and The Range, which cost up to £500.

Nick Grey, Gtech Inventor and CEO shared the tasks to crack on with as Spring arrives.
1. Clean your garden
Make sure to clear away all leaves, soil and plant debris from your patios and flower beds; this creates a healthier environment for new growth, especially as we get into the summer months. Gtech's Garden Safety Kit includes durable gardening gloves and safety glasses; perfect for comfortability whilst tackling those outdoor tasks.
2. Weeding
Early Spring is the best time to tackle weeds; if you can introduce some regular weeding into your routine, you can guarantee a tidy garden all year round.
3. Hedge maintenance
Spring is the ideal time to tidy up overgrown hedges and shrubs, as regular trimming ensures healthy growth and reduces pest issues. Using a tool like the Gtech Lightweight Hedge Trimmer can help to keep your greenery looking sharp and neat.
4. Composting
Starting a compost heap this spring is a pro-active, cost-effective way to harness nutritious soil for your plants and recycle organic waste that will benefit the overall health of your greenery and foliage.
5. Look after your lawn
Lawn care is hugely important in assuring your garden stays looking beautiful. Make sure to rake away any excess leaves and trim your grass routinely.
For anyone planning on hosting guests this early May bank holiday, the Rattan Garden Bar is the perfect purchase to impress friends and neighbours.
It's priced at £79.99 and includes a tempered glass top, a stainless-steel ice bucket, bottle storage and two wine racks.
And no spring bank holiday get together would be complete without a BBQ, making the 4-Burner Gas BBQ a must have buy.
Meanwhile, the Balcony Coffee Setting, priced at £99 is perfect for soaking up the sun in smaller spaces.
It is important to remember to always shop around when buying something like this as you might find a cheaper alternative.
Websites like Trolley and Price Spy let you compare thousands of products across different retailers to find the best price.
Price Spy even lets you see how much an item has cost over time, so you can see if the current price is a good deal.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The shopper was stunned to pick up this £50 toy for just £1 after using the B&M scanner Credit: B&M Scanner And Other Bargains!/Facebook It is for children aged eight and above, and it comes with a battery-operated pump. The toy was originally £50 before it was reduced to £20, then it plummeted to just £1. The cost-cutting customer shared a snap of the product on B&M Scanner and Other Bargains Facebook. He added a screen grab with information to help other shoppers find it in their local stores. "Just found the bargain of the year!! £50!!!! Down to £1," he wrote. Other shoppers flocked to the comment section, with one writing: "Super bargain!" Another shared a photo of her own giant inflatable and wrote: "Thank you! Just got one." A third wrote: "Omg my autistic son would loooooove this!!!!!" "I've been looking everywhere for one of these! I saw them a few years ago and they've never had them again!" chimed a fourth. The product code is: 394873 and the B&M scanner noted that the inflatable is subject to availability. He'd discovered the major deal by using the B&M free barcode scanner. The tool allows shoppers to discover discounted items before the staff have even reduced them. The scanner lets you see if the item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop shelf. Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift, or they're labelled "big brands" and "big savings". It's a terrific hack to use, especially since the cost of living keeps rising and inflation might hit 15% by the end of the year. B&M bargains often differ from store to store and customers are warned that some products are available in selected stores only. To avoid a wasted trip, contact your local branch to check their stock. To find your nearest, use the online store locator tool. The garden toy is made in the shape of Saturn, with a large ring running around the outside for children to climb on. There are handles on the sphere for kids to hold on as they rock from side to side. Another shopper was thrilled with the deal, and treated her kids to a inflatable boxing ring and slide too. "Grand total of £12 for £150 worth of toys! Slide was £10 and the other two were £1 each," she wrote on the same Facebook group. If you're looking to turn your garden into a fun-filled play area for your kids, B&M has you covered with more incredible offers. The discount store is flogging a huge inflatable slide for just £10. A shopper shared the deal on the same Facebook page and wrote: "Yesterday's find at B&M." Attached to the post was a picture of a Gigantic Garden Slide, originally priced at £50. A sale sticker had been placed on the box, to say it had been reduced to £30, however, when the shopper got to the till, it had been reduced to just £10. The bargain buy is six feet long when inflated and promises "slip'n, slide'n fun". It is suitable for children over three and includes a battery-operated pump. B&M said: "Unleash the fun in the sun with this epic giant inflatable slide! "Watch as the kids' smiles reach new heights - It's the ultimate entertainment for endless summer fun." Shoppers raced to the comments section of the Facebook posts to tag their friends and share the bargain with them. One shopper pointed out that the slide is from last year's stock, so may not be available to buy in your local.

North Wales pub revamped by Brunning and Price founder named one of best in UK
A pub that was stunningly revamped by the founder of the Brunning and Price (B&P) group has named one of the UK's most beautiful. The Druid Inn in Gorsedd, near Holywell, closed in June 2023 and it later emerged it had been snapped up by Pubs Limited. That group is run by Jerry Brunning, who started Brunning and Price(B&P) with Graham Price in the late 1980s. B&P became a roaring success with pubs in North Wales and Cheshire and the pair later sold their shares to the Restaurant Group. Jerry started Pubs Ltd, with The Druid its first location in North Wales. It reopened in spring 2024 - adding to the group's existing five sites in Cheshire and Shropshire. A major renovation took place ahead of the reopening. That pub has now been named as one of the most beautiful in Britain and won the CAMRA and Historic England award for the Best Refurbishment of an existing pub in the UK. Druid Inn was praised for its "extensive yet thoughtful renovation", with the judges praising the pub for its "cosy nook and crannies, a welcoming central bar, comfortable seating, quirky artwork, soft lighting, roaring fireplaces and a private dining room". The pub said: "This was a complete surprise. We didn't know we were in the running for this at all, so it was a complete shock when we got the news. We love our little pub and all its nooks and crannies, so we're super happy that the hard work put into the refurbishment has been recognised! "Twenty pubs are closing per week, yet they are so important to our local community. They're a place to meet friends, old and new and enjoy good quality food and drink.
