We use quite a lot of sprouting seeds in stir fries & salads and I'll probably be using more in winter now the garden salads are finishing. Does anybody know where you can buy them in bulk to save on cost?. The small packets you can normally get from garden centres don't last very long and seem quite expensive for the small amounts they produce..

Hi Primrose

Depending on what seeds you require, forget garden centres and seed companies and go to your local healthfood shop.

These supply more than the usual 25g packets Primrose.

Moles seeds do them in 250g's and the larger packets they do work out a little cheaper

ps just had a quick peek at the organic gardening catalogue and thier sprouting seeds look good very good value. Don't forget the 10% off if you are a member of the HDRA
