Where Can I find Canning Jars in the UK?

So. Where are they? I'm probably being crap but looking throught the internet has brought up nothing. Just lots of spore suppliers who don't sell them or aren't in the Uk. Know any food suppliers who might have em?

Expensive air-sealed ones are at www.gnostic-garden.com, but as the man says, look in morrisons at their jam jars,they'll do the trick nicely.
Why not just buy the mycelium already grown for you? Then put it in a propagator and in 2 weeks they're grown.

They sell cheaper jam in Asda, and they use the same Bonne Maman jars. It's called Continental.

Sainsbury's do their own jam in canning jars also. ?1.29 each. Don't buy the french make, same jar 50p more. I have no idea what price Asda's are, I won't shop there on account that it's american and only here to fuck up our trade deficit.
Sainsbury's also have jars of rhubarb in slightly larger canning jars for about the same price - I didn't know that when i bought my jam jars, otherwise I would have got the rhubarb jars instead. They're not much bigger, but every little bit helps.
Homebase have stopped stocking perlite and vermiculite, B & Q sometimes have them still. And Homebase also sell very fine mister sprays, specifically for air plants, which are excellent for misting your cakes.
And the cheapest pressure cooker from index perfectly holds three of the canning jars from sainsbury's with room for a syringe and mixing glass inside.

Don't know if you have a 'Kitchens' or 'Farnworths' near you, but they both do perfect canning jars in a range of sizes!

In reply to:

Could you please clarify on this method as I have been wanting some DMT for ages but have been unable to get a good solvent. As for the jars I have got my from smartbotanics they cheap enough and although there web site say they cant be PC, in my experience they can.

Any idea where you get the chemicals like muriatic acid from for this extraction?

Just go to this site and you'll be all the wiser :
QT's Extraction
Muriatic acid can be bought at pool shops as they use it to control the pH of the water. However, when I rang up they hadn't heard of Muriatic Acid but offered a another type of acid instead. I'm pretty sure that muriatic acid is just hydrochloric acid so go for that. On the other hand, you could just use white vinegar (acidity around 5%) as that's supposed to work too.
Let me know how you go with it as I should be starting a trial just after christmas, absolutely can'y wait till I can actually cook this stuff up!!!
