Growing Media

We have been able to build up good stock levels across all ranges of growing media over
recent months.
All manufacturers are now passing on fuel surcharges for new stock as hauliers increase
their transport costs due to higher fuel prices. This price change is dependent on costs
incurred at the time of shipping.

Pelleted Chicken Fertiliser

We now are stocked back up with Early Bird 15kg pelleted chicken fertiliser. We have
spoken to the supplier regarding future availability and we’re aiming to bring in more stock
late September early October as available. Prices on this stock have yet to be confirmed but
we have to advise that an increase is likely. If you require any stock while we currently still have product, we have 10 pallets (600 bags) available.

Fertilisers

We are managing to maintain good levels of stock on most fertilisers and have not seen an
increase in prices during the last few months. We have been warned prices may start to
increase towards the Autumn as new energy prices are issued. Most fertilisers are very
energy intensive in production and another rise in gas and electricity prices will inevitably
lead to higher product prices. Please check our product availability / current prices if you
are looking to stock up before the end of the year.

Cash Payments

Unfortunately we have been advised by our bank that we can no longer deposit cash with
them. With this in mind we now have to ask that from 1st August all customers no longer
settle any substantial accounts / invoices in cash. We have a variety of payment methods
(cheque, BACS, credit/debit cards), please ask for any details.

Autumn Planting stock

We recently sent out details of Autumn planting onion sets, shallots, garlic, flower bulbs
etc. for pre-ordering. If you are looking to place an order for these items please do so ASAP
as stock availability could be limited. Final order date is Friday 5th August. If you have not
received details of these products please contact us and we will send them on to you.
Please keep an eye on your emails for further information and pricing updates throughout
the year. If you have any queries or questions on products, pricing and stock availability
please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss.

Kind regards
