Hi Geoff, if you google giant hempseed monster particles, they sell it for £5 for two and a half kilo's I don't know if this is a good price or not?

I would highly recommend tares cooked in normal sized hemp. Just cook the same as hemp. The extra hempy flavour works wonders even when legered.

I always drop some wheat into my hemp when it’s cooking as a hook bait.

I get mine from local agricultural feed merchants in 25 kilo sacks.

It can be a bit of a bugger to get it to split though. I end up using every trick in the book.

The Asda store up here sells hempseed.just small packets that are in the same aisle as the nuts and seeds.i don’t know if every store sells it,but I find the grains are bigger.
Don’t cast doubt,cast out.
