    Hi

    My friend was fishing some lake about 3 weeks ago, and they were spreading in the field behind him, as he said, marble sized pellets.
    He asked the person spreading them and they said, they were slow release fertilizer.

    I looked in the garden centre,they had different sizes of packets,which worked out between 5 and 10 pence per pellet, might expensive for what they are.

    And the farmers buy by the tonne, but not at those prices!

    I know what you mean R.F its an expensive do. miracale grows slow release is a fiver for 1 litre. I always intend to by at the end of the season (coz a lot cheaper) but always seem to get there to late. I'm a terrible shopper for a woman.:confused::thumb::D
