"It's interesting though how many customers see any creature within their garden territory as an intruder .
Fear of the unknown perhaps ?
Must admit though the unfortunate label of slow worm does them no favours . "

"to be fair, if they were unaware of what Slow Worms are, from the name alone, they might sound like a pest, like some outdoor type of tape worm"

each bale can make 65-80 litre volume.
to make this 5 kg bale into 65 litre you just soak with water, If you repeat the process of adding water and ''playing'' with it you will get 80 litre.
As a trade you get a good discount - and so a pallet with 30.00 will be less than £200.00 inc delivery (trade price)
important to say it is Organic- so cost a bit more- Later on may have a version with 'osmocote' inside too.
like all my products- best to contact and get your trade price. Has anyone in the uk use it?
£3.5 for 9 litre brick + delivery.
It has other benefits than just free compost that you are very welcome to read about on my website coir compost .
For example can you walk with 240 litre of compost?
not a problem to walk with 3 bales 5kg each.- will you get better results?
As I said I used it many times - getting huge plants in fairly small containers.
for anything you need to see what you are paying for, Nick.
there are few mail order firms that sell eco coir bales for much more than that even £19,99 a bale.
as much as I sell more I find that many people happy to pay more for quality- in fact in many times it helps selling.
If you do calculation for you contact me to get trade price for quality product. Sure when you think about big quantity when costs of delivery are saved.
just google organic free peat compost and you will see that prices are much higher.
I can understand your question as I asked the same one and found that as it is certificated as organic - it worth/cost more- for me I decided to sell it as I know what quality it brings when you think hanging baskets, containers and even soil conditioner. I suppose it is one of the things you need to try to under stand it.
I took on board your concern, found a way to low my costs and reduced the price massively!
and the first order came today!
thank you!
