UK growers and grow bags

where do other UK growers buy their grow bags from?
all the sponsors seem to be located in USA or Canada and therefore they are forced to charge very large shipping costs when shipping to the UK, and i'm not happy about paying over $100 in shipping costs for 20 grow bags!
appreciate any help

i've tried pressure cooking oven bags before but they dried out completely while i pressure cooked them.
i suppose i could dig out the oven bags one more time

make sure you get the contents to the proper moisture level and then when you go to PC cover the opening tightly with foil. I have two of these bags in my incubator right now almost 100% done. I use empty mycobacs i ordered though..

I made my own grow bag out of a ziplock, scissors, coffe filters, ductape + my substrate. I cut a hole in a gallon double lock ziplock about 4 in.(12 cm) and made it about .5 in. in diameter. I then took 2 coffee filters and cut them 1 inch larger in diameter than the diameter of the ziplock hole. I then ductaped the filter there around the edges. I then put in my substrate and add a little water and mix it in the bag. I zipped it closed and pushed out all the air through the filter hole. I put that bag in another ziplock and put washclothes in the boiling pot. I boiled for 1.5 hours. Look for small holes that melted into the bag and put ductape over them. It should be minimal though. I then let it cool in the other bag for about 2-3 hrs. The filter will have been wetted now so put some ductape over the filter, so it's now a square of ductape at the top. Swab a spot twards the bottom of the bag with rubbing alcahole and apply a small strip of ductape. This is where you innculate. Once you inculate, quicly apply another strip of ductape over that. Your bag should work just like a commercail grow bag give or take a few days. Hope you have access to ziplocks in the UK
