My Dad, like so many Dads, is tricky to buy for.... Not because he's remotely awkward or fussy, far from it bless him, but simply because he pretty much has everything he needs. And if he hasn't, he buys it, usually online...!
I spotted this product last year as I was googling like mad for ideas for my Dad's 72nd birthday. He loves his allotment and anything for 'The Plot' usually goes down well.. I ordered this and was utterly amazed that such an unwieldy item arrived so quickly for so little P&P! It's currently down at the allotment being used for early salads & as a seedbed. (It's bigger than I imagined it would be, too.)
As a present for a someone who loves their veggies, this is a very thoughtful gift. I may well order a couple for us, too, for our allotment. As a nice extra, the metal hooped frame can be used with fleece or any other covering you may need.
