give your local seed merchant a call.

Nothing worse than buying a sack of tigers getting them home to find out the weevils have been right through them and you've got a 50%+ sack of shells.
If anyone is after decent tigers I would have a look at the ones Eric sells, he lived in Spain for a good many years near a farm/producer of tiger nuts and he's used tons over the years, he always had good quality fresh tigers with him at Rainbow they were like eating a bag of sweets, "Eric knows his nuts" he dealt with them long enough and wouldn't buy *****, he's not the cheapest but you get what you pay for, his skinned tigers are the ones.

I've had mixed quality on bits from my local feed merchants the past few years.
Monster hemp last year was £38 for 15kilos, decent sized grain, this year, only 'normal' hemp, tiny grains and £38 a sack.
Maize last year was dusty, and I ended up having to do the last 5k and freezing it as weevils had gotten in. They could have been there on purchase, I don't know.
Tigers last year I had to buy in 5kilo bags as I can't use it on my syndicate so no point in buying a whole large sack. It's a chub bait.
Pigeon conditioner or mixed chicken corn has been really good quality.

Why did the particle companies just run each other down on price? Flooded the market with really cheap particles and ruined it!
Interestingly there are now a lot of people looking and happy to pay more for quality stuff
Maybe gone full circle

Doesn't look like in a very short time on companies House. They've had multiple strike off notices over the last few years . Looks like they've been hanging on since 2019.

Kieron started this company just up the road from me and the products where really good, then he moved to bigger premises down into town and the quality was still acceptable but then he stated big adverts and discounts, that's when things started to go a bit square shaped, he got to big to soon, he was ambitious and you can't really blame him but the orders coming in meant he was then having problems, you cannot rush particles, they have to be cooked slowly

100 percent spot on
I know how much it costs to buy in.......they were chucking loads away, giving it away, it just didn't make sense
Still can't find any decent hemp now!
