Does anyone know where I can buy dried plantain in bulk?

I do have some seeds somewhere which I really must get around to growing

I used to get huge bags from zooplus but they haven't got them right now. Burns are a company who sell it if you google Burns and plantain you should find something. Think it is expensive though.

Thanks I did have a quick look around but wasn't very successful, I may look again tomorrow on the computer rather than my phone.

I guess it will push me to sow the seeds so I can harvest my own.

Might take me a while to find the seeds, I put them somewhere safe :lol:

The Burns one is about £2 for 100g but some of the shipping charges are ridiculous.:roll:

Yeah some crazy prices, I was hoping to find massive bags of it as my buns love the stuff

I usually buy the Burns bags from Hay Experts or VetUK, and as I buy Spenser's pellets from these companies the postage isn't too bad - it doesn't seem to go up if I add a few bags of plantain.

I'm only buying for one bunny though.

When the rain stops I'm going to go look at planters at The Range and Wilkos as I've seen some seeds on rabbit nutrition that I would like to buy.

Thanks already checked eBay, I was thinking massive bags that I can buy in which are dried but looks like there is nothing to fulfil my needs.

Home grown it is, I guess it's cheap this way too

I find plantain always grows where you don't want it to and never where you do :roll::lol:

Ha well it only has one choice and that's the planter it will be going in :lol:

I'm getting excited at the prospect of ordering some seeds, I had a browse last night and I'm going for mainly wild flowers

I don't think they stock it anymore as I have looked all over the site

I planted some for my bunnies, and by the time it actually started to grow (about a year later), I no longer had bunnies!
