Aldi growing kits

Anyone with experience of these? http://www.aldi.ie/ie/html/offers/special_buys3_17482.htm
Was thinking of getting the peppermint for the window sill and maybe the bonsai.
Thanks for the replies.

I don't but just ensure when growing mint that you keep it in a pot as if you plant it in the garden it will take over and you just cannot get rid of the darn thing ! Mint is easy to grow.

does anyone would these grow here, esp the oranges and lemons and coffee plant?

Has anyone planted these before with any success

Bought an orange tree in Lidl before, just too difficult even in a green house, If you had a conservatory it might be worth a try. More of a talking point with guests than actually having a decent harvest from the plants.

I echo Vic point above on mint, don't plant it straight in the ground, it grows like mad and you will be forever more be diggging up the roots to stop it spreading.

Would the monkey nut one be easy enough to grow?

Maybe, but they are not very interesting to look at as the 'nuts' grow underground. You would do as well with a raw monkeynut and just put it in a pot of compost on a windowledge.

Bonsai practice is an unusual form of plant cultivation in that growth from seeds is rarely used to obtain source material.

According to wikipedia. I just bought one of those Aldi kits. Great -_-.
