I found the store ok, the products ok and the layout fair, but I have given this shop five stars purely because of one man. One mans efforts to make sure i walked away with correct compost came second only to his sheer charisma and charm.
I speak of the man i know only as Liam. I asked Liam what compost to use for a Japanese Acer Tree.
"What compost would be best for a Japanese acer tree" I said.
"Japanese acer?" He said. "Never heard of it, and to tell you the truth i know nothing of compost but I will of course find out for you."
Off he went. The complete details of what happened on his quest are known only to Liam himself. His journey was most probably one of pearl and danger. I don't know how many people he had to kill to get the answers but suffice it to say 5 minutes later he was back and recomending eracacous compost.
"We have it in 20 litre or 60 litre bags" he quiped.
After discussing the price and offering to carry the bag to my car (to which i happily said no) he was off.
I don't know if ill ever see him again but i know that i feel a lot more safe knowing Liam is out there looking out for the common man, women and child alike.
Thanks Liam
And Thank you homebase for hiring such a talent. read more
