Margaret Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Jim Vyse has kindly delivered my 4 sacks of mash and 1 of Alpha mix £71.65 :roll This is how much they consume each month, I know they are greedy but its soooo expensive. Thought Wiggly Wigglers was bad enough, mind the benefits are so good, not sure what to do. Keep buying it I suppose, who need money in the bank anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Are you sure they arent wasting a lot or you dont have rodent visitors? My 50+ birds dont get through much more than that at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 My 35 get through just about a sack of layers a week nearly. Your bill seems mighty high! Are you feeding the local garden birds & small furries? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 have you thourght about switching to pellets my 8 take about 6 weeks to go through a 20kg sack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I gave up the Garvo. They were on Alphamix &costing a small fortune. They now get Wiggley Wigglers with bokashi & omlet corn. I still use Garvo growers mini pellets , which wasn't expensive & mix it with their mash when I remember. I do like Garvo but it is ludicrously expensive although I haven't tried their "normal" mash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Garvo pellets from my supplier are the same price as Farmgate round here so I dont find it too expensive but I think some suppliers load the prices more than others so think I am pretty lucky!

fluffyfeet Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I pay £10 for a big sack of Garvo layers pellets and I reckon it lasts about 6 weeks and thats with 12 bantams with healthy appetites. I get mine from Sturmans in Oldbury, West Mids, and he has a stand at some of the shows too. Dawn x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I pay £9.60 for my Garvo layers pellets I don't think that is too bad I have paid that for regular run of the mill feed. I do think my girls are looking very good on it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 No furry cretures, just greedy The problem with the Garvo is the delivery,, 20K bag is £8.95 But with delivery £15.20 So 4 bags is £60.80 plus the Alpha mix !! Did use Forsham Arks, whick was £20 in petrol to drive there, but they have run out... Jim Vyse service is great, its just the price.

chuckmum6 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I get mine locally and they deliver free I guess I'm lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyfeet Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I've just noticed that they are charging you delivery on each bag which I think is a bit naughty when they are all coming together. I'd be inclined to ask if they could discount on that, especially if you have a few at a time. Dawn x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I am resisting the temptation of going Garvo but it is hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
