    I'm quite new to vegetable growing and want to purchase some bonemeal for next season. What would be the best brand to buy? I was considering Sinclair's or Elixir.

      The same as pete but I look for the cheapest, the brand's you mention seem to be recommended so you have a few good options.

        Lol probably industrial quantities as I currently have little confidence in my horticultural ability. Will probably go for 25kg as I:be been told the plot has not had any feeding in the last 5years.

          I think. Safe to say. Straight chemicals etc remain as such. So Bonemeal is....bonemeal. Different providers will compete over prices.
