An avid gardener has been praised for her £3.99 Home Bargains hack to grow seedlings indoors. Sophie, who is known as @lookinsidemygarden on social media, has taken to TikTok to share the one item you need to buy to grow plants ahead of summer.
In her video, she said: “If you’re a gardener, this is the best £3.99 you will ever spend in Home Bargains.” She is seen picking up a wooden shoe rack from the store shelves before taking it home to assemble, saying ‘it’s so easy to put together, you don’t need the instructions’.
She adds: “They’re going to be perfect for our seedlings. March is a busy sowing season and I need lots of space so I can get my seedlings to germinate inside. As soon as they germinate, I get them outside in the greenhouse. So there you have it. Indoor seed station set up, bring on the seed sowing.”
Commenting on her video, one impressed viewer said: “Oh my! I’m going to pick two of these up tonight I never thought of using them! Thank you.” Another user added: “I was just wondering where I was going to put my seedlings id started growing this week. Home Bargains here I come.”

A third user said: “I like to use clear plastic under-bed storage boxes as a cheap greenhouse. they’re stackable so you can get loads going.” Another user added: “I did that last year and it worked so well. Best of luck to your garden aspirations.” One more user said: “I’ve been using these on my windowsills for years with planting trays on!”
It comes after another gardener shared a ‘magic’ method to remove green algae from your fence without spending hours scrubbing. In her 15-second clip, user @livingwiththeeveans ran her 10,000 followers through the short and simple technique – and shares where you can buy her go-to product.
She said: “Fence clean. You won’t believe the end result… One product. One cup of Wet and Forget, five cups of water. I did most of the fence with a garden sprayer but when I finished it off the next day, the end nozzle fell off and I lost it.
Don’t miss…
“Plan B – I used an old cleaning spray bottle to finish it off. Green gone!” She praised Wet and Forget Outdoor Mould lichen and algae remover for ‘doing the job for her’ while she sat back and watched after applying it to her fence.
