Lottie shop supplies

[Beetroot Bob]

Where do your lotties shops get their supplies ?

Our suppliers prices are going up with every order with some things having gone up 35% over the last year !! Was wondering who you use to see if they were cheaper.

Thanks in advance.

We don't have a shop I'm Afraid...small site.

Seeds...Depends how many people there are/how much you buy but we've placed bulk orders with Dobies and Kings in the past at about half price. There are a couple of us that save a lot of seed. particularly parsnips, beans, toms, Leeks, parsley...most things but brassicas and curcubits and spuds.

All the other stuff you want a horticultural suppliers...I use Monro...not too near you though

here's a link anyway:http://www.monrosouth.co.uk/index.html

Hi

We use a local company which seems reasonable, but are looking at what other local allotments do and maybe combine a order.

Our local allotment shop usually has Kings seeds at vastly reduced prices to the punter. I know the shop makes a healthy profit as well so imagine they must get Kings seeds very, very cheaply. Worth a punt to Kings I would think for seed supplies?

PS Theyr'e damm good seeds annall!

Sorry Bob, but I have no idea where our compost comes from, except that it's Humax, coz that's what our Sec uses for her show veg.
