Phantom Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Having searched high and low for the highly recommended Melcourt bark, (that I don't have to buy in bulk or pay a fortune for in delivery) I found a Melcourt stockist - who doesn't currently stock Growbark - but is willing to order some in IF there's interest in it. So if you're in the South East Manchester area and after a bag or two, then please drop them a message (Facebook link on website) saying so... http://www.dbgardennurseries.co.uk Hyde, Cheshire (M60, M67) Col 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picavorus Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Thanks, very useful to know as it's only a couple of miles from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) They do have a pallet of the stuff in stock now. They also, last year, bought a collection of CPs (mainly Sarracenia & Darlingtonia, from photos I've seen), so if you ever visit for the Growbark ask for a look at them....maybe something you like in there - not sure if they are selling or not. I talked them into stocking the growbark, but haven't had the time to visit/buy yet.....and I only live in Ashton !!! Edited July 25, 2017 by Phantom Wrong product name !!!

Alexis Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 And I've just paid £18 to get a bag from JFC Monro! I'll take a trip over to DB and buy some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picavorus Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'll definitely have to go over and have a look, to see their collection and have a look at what else they sell. Somewhere I've kept meaning to go to see what they have, but never got there even though I only live in Glossop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal was that if they stocked it, I would do what I could to make sure they manage to sell it all !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Searching 'melcourt' on the forum, it seems Mike started with the composted stuff, then changed to (both) growbark pine and hortibark pine....with a composted stuff topping and finally settles on growbark pine.

dennisB Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I'm obviously out of date then. Dennis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ahrens Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 It is slightly difficult to read the bag of Melcourt to see exactly what you have. I have discussed this on another thread. It is printed down one edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
