I use Marriages but not the organic or the grower stuff. The sow cubes we use cost me 350 quid for a tonne in 20kg bags.

I live near Canterbury. I have found a place just outside Ashford ( ORLIKOWOSKI ) they sell Sow & Weaner nuts for
£7.75 for 20kg.
                                If that's any help. Pete.

I feed Organic Unistock from B and W Feeds http://www.bwfeeds.com/smallholder-range.php (http://www.bwfeeds.com/smallholder-range.php)

now £11.75 per 25kg bag.  Sometimes I get a Tonne bag, but easier in bags really and no waste

Can't remember the brand, but our local supplier in Lincolnshire sells 20kg bags for £7.75.
