That's what I was after as well blackkitty but when I got there they had a sign up saying 'compost accelerator' but nothing underneath it! Don't know if I was slow off the mark or if they ever had any in the first place.

I found some in Burton LIdl but they only had about six bottles. Sometimes they do that , make a big thing about a special but hardly have any of the product for sale.

Sorry to sound cynical, but that's probably done on purpose to increase 'foot fall' and respective sales - you go in for an item on special, it is or isn't there and then you end up buying other items you see that you forgot you needed or maybe never knew you never needed

Everytime they advertise bonemeal I trot off to get some and they never have it and that's me trying one store in Fife and two in Edinburgh...it's very annoying!

I must admit I did come out with a nice little folding knife for £1-99 that I didn't know I 'needed ' until I went in for the compost accelerator!
