Amazon sprays purchases

VOESSY · 03-23-2020, 11:19 AM

Since everything is on hold in the world at the moment, I find it quite tricky to find good, quality sprays like flax, wheat and oats to order from Amazon.

Is anyone sitting on a link or two that you use?

Thanks in advance.

They can be hard to get hold of at the best of times, at least they are here in the uk, I usually get mine from https://www.mixerama.de/ but delivery is really expensive & not really practical for only a few things.

Yeah, I see your point.
However, I'm loving this website, I see a lot of things I want to order from there too at some point, so thank you for sharing.

If you've got room in the freezer it's worth doing a big order once in a while & getting free delivery! I get just about all my food from there & the freezer is full, no room for my stuff

I would so dedicate a freezer for his stuff alone, but I'm already on the nutter edge to the people around me so I'll phase in my newfound hamster craze in small bursts to be safe. Haha

I may go for this one, anyone tried it?

I've used that in the past & it's fine.

Yeah, no way, the shipping is twice the price of the product!

Did you, cypher, or anyone else try to sprout and grow your own sprays before?
I know grass like hirs works well, but actually growing and drying proper sprays I'm pretty sure is trickier. I'm up for a challenge though, at least you'd know where they come from.

Flax is easy to grow, I have it in my garden but the mice seem to know the perfect moment to pick the seed pods & usually beat me to it

Millet is fairly easy to grow to but quite a big. plant so you would need enough space outside to grow that, I've grown wheat too that was easy.

Flax, millet, and wheat is a good combination, I'll try.
I have a big garden with permaculture already on the go so I'll be good for space.
