    Evening to you all :)

    This one is to all you professional gardeners, or maybe amateur ones too.

    Where do you guys go to buy your lawn weed & feed fertilizers, weed killers and compost in bulk? And mower engine oil too?

    I usually shop around the DIY stores for the cheapest to keep the costs down, but this is quite time consuming. I've looked at a few places on-line, but these too can be quite pricey too.

    Just wondered if you guys know of anywhere decent, but reasonably priced. Or how you go about getting your supplies

    Thanking you :love30:

      All my fertilisers and herbicide/pesticides are purchased through local landscape suppliers.
      It's worth noting that professional herbicides require the necessary training for use by home owners so it's not a viable option for you. We even require it even if we use domestic products purchased from local shops.
