cant see  how your going to  achieve this mate,  as single grains are  just as  dear as mixed

You dont pay V.A.T on straight feeds but have to pay it on mixes. Unless you would be making very large quantities it would be easier to buy a depuritive mix other wise you will be buying and mixing 6 or more bags at a time. Only issue I see with feeding it in hoppers is that the birds will pick out the titbits and leave the rest and not get the balanced feed they need.

My mate mixes his own corn, he puts a paddle (plasterers use these to mix plaster) on end of drill and it uses it to mix the grains together. ;)

Not sure why no barley but some fanciers substitute Oats for barley to achieve the same results.
