Hi and welcome :toothy10:
If you look on Teegee's profile or google "Gardeners almanac"  there is lots of information on there.
We sell blood fish and bone in our allotment shop so if you have a shop on your site or ask around if there is another local site with a shop.

Hi and welcome from me too.. :wave:

Where about are you? Maybe those that live in your part of the country will see this and is able to point you to right direction. There is companies that do deliver but ordering 'just' two sacks is not going to be cheap and will attract delivery charge. Many horticultural/agricultural businesses will deliver free but then you will need to place order that is much more than couple of bags would cost.
Our allotment shop does buy fertilizers in bulk from here...http://www.gro-welldirect.co.uk/fertilisers/general-garden-fertiliser/ and they will supply to individuals too, but there is similar companies all over the country and maybe closer to you too, some will allow picking the ordered items from their warehouse in person too... :icon_thumleft:

A welcome from me too.  I also use Bhgs they are in Evesham so I pick it up. It is a really old fashioned place you pay and the drive to the loading bay and they put in into the car.  Great.
