"How many do you want, he has 20 ton of them", I just said "about 5 kilo's"."
That made me laugh

I kid you not, when I went round, he had an enormous barn and it was packed with everything in sacks stacked high on pallets, these large 1 ton bags that you get gravel and sand in etc, and then he had loads of his products bagged up in kilo bags etc like a normal dealer, and there was a long line of these large tubs with two handles you can buy full of mixed particles and each one was different individual pigeon and bird fanciers etc, it was like finding paradise. And he walked me round showing me everything he had stocked.
His price list was just a chalkboard on the wall and never had a printed one to hand out as the prices were always changing with new stock. He told me that I was the first person he had had wanting things for fishing as all his trade was for the avarian. But, his place was in the middle of nowhere down a long country lane and no sign up etc, it just looked like a normal farm.
I actually ended up with a sack of maples they was that cheap. And as I was loading the car up, our lass started moaning about how long I had been, obviously, she has never found "Eldorado", Women just don't understand how a few pulses and seeds can turn a carp angler on.

I know exactly what you're talking about. Back in the 90's there was a farmer near Machester Airport who used to keep birds, think they were more aviary type, but he also had said chalk board and more mixes than I'd ever even heard off.
At the end he even stocked or could get anything you asked for...sadly he then turned the farm into a Car Park for the airport!
The last firm I used/use now is BJF Feeds in Yorkshire, some chaps on Newhay Lake over there put me onto them, I've mentioned them on here a few times. They also do said myriad of mixes, I would doubt anyone would be using one if you chose 1 at random
Have a nosey Click here
EDIT, There's a small farm shop near Tacklesaver in Handforth near where I lived and the chap there will get anything you want, no chalk board though as in his words 'prices change to much'...so he had a secret print out with them on instead
I used to put in a order of say £100, go to collect and pay and he'd stick a tenner back in my hand and say 'good lad'...wish more places would be like that!

Monster particles, dry hemp is £35 for 20k which is reasonable and its good hemp splits very well. There is postage on top but i normally order a sack of maples or groats etc with it and its 7.50p post.

Where i get mine now. I like Haiths but its just way too expensive. The local feed shops sacks of hemp just seem to be mostly dust and chopped up blue bailer twine.

Monster hemp isn't Chinese either. I believe it French. Seed size is smaller but the consistency of batches is good. I've found Chinese hemp to be very hit and miss. The small seed size resembles tiny water snails too.
