I need to stock up with hemp (unprepared) for the coming season, now living in the back of beyond I have to purchase in bulk and online. Over the years I have received some rubbish, bought on internet or even from tackle shops (small bags when passing through somewhere). Might look lovely, big, juicy seed in the bags, but is empty shells or doesn't split etc. I also appreciate that the hemp harvests in China do vary in quality over the years, and price!
I don't need big seed, not using it on the hook, only groundbait for roach, barbel, tench etc, both river and lake.
It isn't cheap so I am committed to the order, I can't afford £50 worth of tat being delivered, but what to buy? There is masses online, most saying it is brilliant seed and I daresay much of it is from exactly the same source. Prices vary around the £40 mark and postage also varies - from free to £9.50 (cc moore). I want good seed at a fair price.
Haiths, Hinders, Copdock Mill, cc moore, fishing bait warehouse and loads more on ebay.
Recommendations please + ones to avoid!
Edit: I meant to say I am looking at about 20Kg bags. Can anyone remember about how many pints of cooked hemp come from 1Kg of dry seed?
