And while we’re in the garden, what about the birds?…

Premium Wild Bird Feeds

We stock a huge range of premium feeds for your garden birds. We’ve got everything from straight, aflatoxin-free peanuts to premium seed mixes and suet products. Come and browse the full range in our Dumfries store. There’s something for every budget and bird.

Our staff are always on hand to offer help and advice. We’re incredibly lucky to have a huge variety of garden birds in the UK and our knowledgeable staff are always happy to advise and carry your purchases to your car. Our Johnston & Jeff range is great quality and we sell all sizes of bag, from 2kg to 20kg.

Wild birds need our help right through the year, and especially during the spring and summer when they’re got lots of young mouths to feed. And in return, they bring colour, fun and song to our gardens. Providing them with essential nutrients is a great way to encourage them to your garden.

Why not treat yourself to a garden bird book or even use the RSPB wild bird identifier. It’s a great way to teach the kids about wildlife and encourage them to protect and support the population.

Quick guide to choosing the best Wood Fuel for your stove and lifestyle.

*Break - We strongly recommend you break these briquettes in half (or less for very small stoves) because they do expand whilst burning and you don't want them to overfill the fire.
*Easy to light - We always use a Firelighter and Kindling Sticks to start our fires. Most briquettes are graded four stars to light because they are quite dense and require kindling.

Notes:

  • All stove and flue combinations tend to have different burning characteristics. Fuel that works well in my stove may not work so well in your stove, and vice-versa.
  • Most modern stoves are more efficient than most older stoves, meaning a modern quality stove will burn fuel more economically and generate more heat over a longer period.
  • Always try to burn fuel with a 'lick of flame'. Smouldering fuel to try to extend burn time is bad for your stove, flue and the environment due to unburned particulate matter in the smoke.
  • Be prepared to break briquettes into smaller sections to fit into your stove comfortably. Many briquettes do expand whilst burning and you don't want them to expand onto the glass.
  • The chart above indicates which briquettes are easy to break. Some are small enough so they don't need breaking. This makes for a cleaner environment around your stove.
  • All briquettes, except Everyday Value and Hotmax, benefit hugely from using kindling to light them. I suggest five kindling sticks will be sufficient, meaning a net should last 30 days.
