Has anyone got a cheap way of making up a loft white pleaase. They want 34 quid a tub at donny show!!!
Im not worried about it smelling nice or the disinfecting element, the misty damp mornings make the floors a bit smeary when scraping out.

I use calcium carbonate powder not builders lime
I use to get it £6 for 20kg but now it’s hard to get local and to have it sent works out about £20 due to the weight I imagine but to me it’s the same as loft white but your still get it a lot cheaper that way mate
Mark Bulled put me onto it a good few years ago

go local farm supply's and buy bedding disinfectant powder in 25kg bags loads cheaper and same stuff as respo San dry as they make it for him trust me and fraction of the cost

That’s the calcium carbonate £5/6 a sack if you can get it local

Not sure how I did that twice but anyway that’s it Dave

I use limestone flour 25kg bags around a tenner

That’s same I believe as my calcium carbonate I think but may be wrong
Hard to get here now compared to a few years back

Lol, you've developed an e.stutter Neil.
Thank you all, nice to have a few options.
It seems like putting a picture of a pigeon on a bucket gives you license to rip people off.

The farm I use tends to have difficulty getting it during the winter months but I stock up well before

No you are correct, I keep saying I am going to put some peppermint oil in a tub of mine and see how it goes see if it freshens loft up, will get to it one day
