Thatch Suppliers
90% of the straw used in Gary's work is supplied by P&S King of Lacock. Mr King has been growing quality thatching straw for a number of years, using an old seed variety called Maris Widgeon.
Being able to work closely with the same supplier over a sustained period of time means Gary can be sure that no artificial fertilizer or chemicals are used in the production of the straw.
