These ones are definitely the 70L ones - maybe leftover stock they are selling off, given that the newer stuff come in 60L bags? They were right at the back of the outside area in the Trafford Park store.

The pic is rather lovely Coincidentally Ave Maria is one which is on the list I have of future Camellias, as is Magnoliaeflora

after 2 applications over 4 weeks, herewith some results on 2 Huechera Georgia peach: a bit unfair to say that it's due to the compost tea on it's own, as I have loaded the compost tea with nutrients and 'additives' something has been munching the leaves, and it's not snails, as i have added...

And they can't get the measurements right either ... They say things like "twenty-thousand-pounds" (for weight, if you thought my meaning was Money then, yeah, I would do too!). Even if they don't have Stones, or Tons, they must have SOME units larger than "Pounds" surely? And their Gallons...
