Anybody in need of these should check out their local Homebase.  I've just got 4 packs of 105cm for £3.95 and 75cm for 95 pence per pack.  Local garden centre are £10 for a pack of 5 105cm, so literally half the price at Homebase.

    It's a shame my local one closed down...but they were great for buying ridiculously cheaply bits and bobs for a gardena irrigation system I set up (they discontinued them, thus the pricing).

    Went back to Homebase to get some more link stakes and the 75cm ones were back at their proper price of £3.95 per set (bummer), but that's still good value as far as I'm concerned.  Actually got another 4 sets of those plus another 3 sets of the 105cm.  Hopefully that will be enough to support all the taller plants from this weather.

    That's a good price but I do find they buckle in our thick clay soil.
