    No I get mine from my garden centre, but £18 - £19 per litre is about the going rate.. There are smaller containers on Ebay and Amazon..

    I wouldn't buy too big a container as I think it "sets" over time. Probably not a problem, per se, just makes it a bit harder to get it into solution.

      P.S. I got mine off eBay too. 1/2L I think - lasts me quite a while.

        Thanks, will hunt down a smaller container as I think it would take me years to get thru a litre in my little patch!
