Abbey Road Girl Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 A Cube and four Miss Pepperpots are due to arrive on the 17th. The site for the Cube and standard run has been cleared and made level(ish), but I am worried about the bare soil being too mucky. The big favourite from what I gleaned in the forum is Aubiose, with Hemcore runner up in the popularity sweepstakes, though some people use Easibed. I would like to avoid Easibed which is wood chippings as some people find their chooks eat it. But Aubiose and Hemcore are made of hemp. Since we can't grow our own I need to find a stockist in the Banbury area where my son will be working this week (he has a car and I don't). Alternatively, does anyone know of a stockist who delivers? I don't mind paying a delivery charge (think how much I save by not driving) but the research I've done on the internet seems to suggest that stockists can't be bothered to make small deliveries.

New2this Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi, I don't know if this will help but you could contact Auboise Ltd directly to find a local stockist. Here's the link - http://www.aubiose.co.uk/contact.php I found a farm locally that's stocks it as a result. Sure some others will be along shortly to provide more info. Good luck Christine.

AMO Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 The farm shop at Bodicote (just outside Banbury) sells Aubiose. Claret and I both shop there I think it is about £9 a bale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbey Road Girl Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Gosh, thanks everybody--the more leads the better. One is sure to work out. Want the girls to have a lovely base to scratch around in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
