I notice from previous posts that many people buy their seeds and seed potatoes from wilkos etc.Down on our site we buy all our supplies through the allotment society,they in turn bulk purchase on our behalf and we end up with massive savings.Do anybody else do this

we used to mate but the association folded when someone took the shed over and made it into a blooming tea room , :x

Shame that Muntjac,i have ordered 3kg of each of the following.Pentland Javelin,Maris Peer,and Maxine.Total cost less than £7.00

[muntjac]

you can start a club of your own on the allotments just join the allotment association for details folks, think john has web address

[beansticks]

I would strongly advise it,the savings are great.Also all the seed companies will want your business

we dont have any allotments here, so i would normally get all my seeds from wilkos, but the father in law has a lotty where theres a association shop, so got most seeds there this year, they were half the shop price. Going through to the shop to get me spuds soon as i can

Yes, our Swindon Allotment Association puts in a bulk order to Kings Seeds and we get 40% off.  Not a bad catalogue either!

I got 4Kg of Pentland Javelin today for £4. And that is in the posh south allotment shed.

Our allotment shop sells seed potatoes but does not sell seed.

Yup I'm seed co-ordinator for our local lottie association - did our order through King's seeds - very good value for money for plotholders and for association funds too.  

Now my dining room is full of seed spuds waiting for a spare five minutes to distribute them all.

yes this happens at my allotment too just bought my seed potatoes from them this weekend we have a small shop where i have bought most of my tools at very very reasonable prices i's rather give them the money than anyone else

[beansticks]

HI TALI,you are right,the more people who buy through the allotment societies the bigger the discount they can pass on to us

Hi,
We got all ours from B&Q. two bags for £5. so works out at only £1 per kilo. Have not seen anywhere else this cheap. But hurry as they have nearly sold out.
