Contact your local Environment Agency fisheries department. You should be able to get in touch via the central contact details here:

They ought to be able to take them off your hands and supply them to someone who wants them.

How big is your garden, and what do you grow?

How long have you had that one tucked away, John, waiting for the right moment?

It was put on the forum ages ago Steve, it struck a chord with a few of us. Mr Waller even has it in his signature.

 

I'm applying for a job as a supplier when he opens his UK factory.
