Reminds me of when my bro inlaw got a new allotment a few yrs ago. The previous owner told him to use a special fertliser on his crops to get good results. When I inquired as to what it was, he said it was called six eggs or something like that.

I puzzled over this for weeks until one day at the garden centre I came across 6xxx.

I did buy a bag and have used it, but prob not to it's full potential looking at the website.
