      Morrisons garden centres (in season they convert the trolley station to a garden centre)
      Good prices on fruit bushes 1.79 each as are the climbers
      The compost is really good quality fine stuff £5 for 80Ltr (3.50 for one 40Ltr)
      though this is a pound dearer than lidl's (20Ltr 98p)
      I say good quality "I do not know" just it is very black, rich and fine, but so is soot :-)

        I would use more fuel driving to Morrions to get Fruit Trees and I was nearer to Aldis when the offer was on.

        What do I need to feed the fruit bushes with ?

        When planting a slow release balanced fertiliser such as fish, blood and bone mixed with the soil. Once blossom appears use a high K fertiliser, a tomato fertiliser would do.
        I save any bonfire ash to scatter around our fruit trees in April as it helps slightly.
