Get your lime from the builders merchant for a tenth of the price.

Get fertilser from the farmers merchant for about a thirdof the price.
(20-10-10 is excellent general fertiser).
Get pesticides/herbicides from the same place.

Make your own compost or get it from the recycle centre.
It just needs riddling forseed/cutting purposes.

Get seed from pound stretcher for half price or save your own

Get garden tools from the car boot sale.


Garden lime is calcium carbonate.


Why don't they just call it "chalk"?
