Have you considered the only people that sell the PF Booklet, maybe even... no... it couldnt be... that PF actually sell the book themselves..... SHOCK HORROR!
Seriously now.... www.fanaticus.com, the people that made the book. They also have it online if you want it there for free.
For 1/2 pint jars... use Bonne Maman Jam Jars from Sainsburys. their a shoulderless 1/2 piont jar + You get jam.
Vermiculite can be bought from Garden centers. Dessicant from Homebase + Tupper ware boxes. I can send you your first syringe if you want seeing as the only nearby spore supplier for syringes is smart botanics.
Organic BRF has to be made yourself usuing a cheapo coffee grinder from John Lewis... and grinding the whole grain Brown Rice from a health food store. Make sure its organic though.
Need anything else just post your email addy and I'll contact you.
Whoa! Where my Fingers?

Cool man. I did look at the site but it looks a bit plain, and I didnt see a email on the main page to ask them Q's. I will go there now and check it out abit more, read there info. Im setting up a new email so Ill drop you that when I get it done some time today. Dunno if you'd know the answer to this but its worth a go, that Vermiculite, I can get it so its not a problem, but I had a pet Turantula last year and its medium was just how Vermiculite looks, its nice and cousiny too! Is this it?
Thanks

Yea thats how it looks, theres big bits in the bag and also tiny bits, nearly powered in there too. Is this fine to us? I used to have to add water to it in the spider tank to keep it a nice humidity in there.

I get 25 liters for 5 quid.
By the way... your signitures wrong... theres one "n" in that "Gun" your quoting for... but two "n"'s for the "Get your Gunn" (after Dr. Gunn, a florida abortion doctor murdered).

Cool, thanks for all the help. Im going down to the gardening stores tomorrow and ill check out the prices there for vermiculite, I can mail order 100liters for about ?15, but I dont need that much. I will be getting all the equiptment over the next week so I can get started. I will have to steralise in a suacpan cause I got no pressure cooker, any one do this? Have any tips?
Hey Maddoc, how much would you charge to send me my first syringe and what strain would it be?
Thanks
p.s. im only planing on doing two jars max, hoping to do one, but maybe two.

Free dude... no charge. It will be the same strain I started with, PES Amazon.
I'll help you with whatever you need.
But 2 jars? Why? Not enough space or parents? Why not case? Anyway, dont worry about email... PM (private message) me and we'll talk and shoot the shit.
