This thread might be of interest:

Our association gets 50% discount with Marshalls and T&M, though that sometimes still does not make them the cheapest.

Membership of the National Society of Allotment and Liesure Gardens gives very good seed prices as well.

Sid, I see you're in Doncaster in which case you're in luck. Midlands allotments are best served by Codnor Horticulural. They supply everything you'd ever need at trade prices and deliver to your area. As regards seeds, they supply Fothergills and Johnsons at 50% discount on sale or return, seed poatatoes at around mid £2 ish per 3kilo, onions sets £30/25 kilos, composts etc.
Phone 01773 742847 for catalogue.

Crikey Slyfox, Alan Romans are cheap aren't they!  Some fairly big pack sizes though, I think I'd need a farm rather than a lottie!! ;D

Cheers for the link

Hi Slyfox, just bought a selection of veg from Alan Romans (thank you) they arrived in little packets with just the names on :o. I'm still at the stage of needing full instructions, planting times ect. help ???

Karrot, that's why they're cheap!

The idea is that you go back to Alan Romans website and cut/paste the info from there. That's what I did last year.

Otherwise just 'do a google', or ask on here :)
