Reikiranf Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I know that quite a few Omleteers in the Kent/South East London area use Garvo, I usually buy mine from Grain Harvesters near Canterbury which is a bit of a trek. Yesterday I realised that I needed to buy more sooner than expected so I took a drive to Dobbies Garden centre in Gillingham which isn't too far away and certainly closer than Canterbury. I expected there to be a mark up on it, but was pleasantly surprised to find that on the mash and pellets it's only about £1.50 which is probably a saving taking fuel & time into account The downside was that they didn't have any layers mash, but I got the farmyard mix instead which is similar but has pellets and shell mixed in, it looks more like the Alpha mix and when I put a bit down for the girls they gobbled it up. It was £14.99, but I'd rather pay a bit extra and get something they'll eat, as I find a cheap feed is a false economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good_egg Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Dobbies up here (Edinburgh ish) sells layers pellets and mash so they might just have been out of stock near you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimnpaula Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I like chickens is based in Maidstone and I have bought Garvo layers pellets and alphamix from him, but he didn't have any last I tried so ended up with something else. He's happy for me to collect too saving on shipping. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMARCH Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Hi, I know lots of you use Garvo and wondered what you think about the soybeans. I notice in the ingredients "*from genetic modificated soybeans" and this has put me off and I have stuck with Smallholder who seem to try to avoid GM ingredients or at least according to their blurb. Do you think most feeds also contain GM soya beans also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
