Best value seed supplier?
« on: October 09, 2013, 10:40 »
Hi

Putting together a list for purchase for the polytunnel next season.

Any opinions on the best value supplier?  Recently purchased off ebay but would welcome suggestions as to good value suppliers.

TIA

Adri

D T Brown - limited range, but no P&P to pay  :)

It depends what you want - cheap seeds or large packs. If you search on the posts there are quite a few threads about seed suppliers. I've got a list of suppliers on my diary that might help your search:

But be warned, I've got slightly obsessed with squashes!

Any opinions on the best value supplier?

Wyevale / The Garden Centre Group - end of season 50p-a-packet sale (usually starts around 01-Sep).  Bit late now, so probably won't be much choice left.

Moles Seeds - www.molesseeds.co.uk - good value if you want large packets.  Free P & P except for Peas, Beans and Green Manure etc.

Usually only a limited range of varieties but Aldi, Wilkinsons, Pound Shops etc. have good value packets

Real Seeds - www.realseeds.co.uk - sell open-polinated varieties with instructions on how to keep your own seed, so that could work out the cheapest!

Reminds me of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe in which was a company that made pumps that never went wrong.  Once everyone in the world had one the company quietly went bust!

Is there still a buying option on John's site?  If so buying via that would (I think?) contribute a commision back to the site :)

Money Saving Expert advertises an offer from Parkes this week - 17 veg packs for 7.50 delivered. Would normally be around £30. You can't choose the varieties but that is pretty cheap.
