Can anyone recomend anywhere to buy some, everywhere online seems so expensive.

 I have been reading some old posts as my garlic has begun to yellow a bit at the tips, and have noticed  David T recommends giving a quick sprinkle of sulphate of ammonia

Coincidence!
Instructions with my recently bought blueberries said to use some when planting (I didn't) and use it as a top dressing later on. I assume it's acidic because blueberries like acid!
Is it really the right stuff for garlic? There was a very recent post about yellowing leaves and nitrogen but mine are definitely due to the Winter because new growth is fine.
I have dressed with potassium sulphate (sulphur of potash) to swell the bulbs.
Just looked on Ken Muir's site where I bought the blueberries and he sells sulphate of amonia for £3.90 a kilo (+ postage)
It is definitely used to acidify limey soil........

Just read the other thread. Mum says it's got nitrogen in it so it might be the right stuff?

Sorry, it was Salmo....better go to bed!

A dry week is forecast so you would have to water the ammonium sulphate in Jamie; if you have got some Phostrogen or Miracle Grow you can do both jobs at once, as well as providing them with a better combination of nutrients.

Local farmer?  Might sell you a pail full (or whatever).

I bought half a tonne off the farmer last year for £150 - so 30p a kg - and I expect the farmer didn't make a loss on the transaction

Using it on the lawns too, plus we have lots of hedges that we put in that I want to "hurry up".  I reckon its about 3 year's worth.
