anybody know the cheapest place to get blood fish and bone by the bucket

try a local allotment association if there are any, they often do good prices if you are eligible to join

I never remember the differences between the fertilisers but there's an article on them on the Information pages, have a browse and I'm sure you'll find it
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

avoid the garden centres..everyone Ive seen has been OTT in price. Ive found wilkos is good, (as always) but only in boxes not tubs here.

If your lotty shop and local independent shops can't help, might be worth looking in the pound shop (whichever version you have where you are) - bulk buying smaller boxes would be possible

Hi Yorkie do you sell it in your lotty shop?
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

i have just checked and it is £7.49 for a 10kg bucket, so compared to £1.99 for a 1.5kg box in wilkinsons thats quite good.

I can't recall what quantities but yes, I'm sure we do

Thats not a bad price at all - we get it from a horticultural wholesaler for £15 / 25kg
Buckets are good idea, can get smelly and is attractive to rats
Playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order!
