Every GH I've had needs the cover replacing in a year or so. Got so many damn shelves... I think the constant high RH fucks them. Mine always split around the seams.. Get em while they're cheap boys n girls.

Think it's hard to find, heard of people smashing up gypsum boards.... perhaps someone else can help more?

This place is by far the best, think there's a consensus on that. It's buried in this thread several times somewhere.. Too stoned/busy to check all the links on the 1st page.

I sent egoquest a and asked him to add it if it's not there.

Cheers dude that looks cool, and ive found lots of similar stuff on the net, but i hoped it would be something i could just buy from a store. Im sick of p&p charges and really need to start sourcing locally.

The only places I've found it are garden super-stores or tiny little 'mom and pop' places that still carry oldschool nutrients rather than pre-mixes every time.
Don't bother with big chains, they don't seem to carry it at all. It's probably the hardest thing to find in the UK in terms of supplies. It lasts for fucking ages, well worth it.

Good luck on finding gypsum.
Look in garden centers for clay breaker.
Some people dont know what gypsum is but they know what clay breaker is.
