Hi Folks,

The supplier of diatomite is/has gone into receivership. there is none available in Melbourne from the main supplier; Sage Horticultural. we are waiting to see if they will re-open under a new company or if they will trade out of it.
I am going to investigate the use of so called "kitty litter" as you buy from the supermarket.

Zyggy.
p.s. THE answer 2 THE ultimate Q. is 42 !!

Hi Zyggy
See if you can get a delivery from Mt Sylvia, Shoud be available by the pallet, or Enfield Produce in Sydney will ship as well.
You will be happy as I am with it after trying it out. I started using it when Maidenwell went broke the first time, and have not looked back since.

G'day Sidd, Carlos & Chelsworth, try The Imagination tree. I recall Chris saying he had some only a month or two ago.

Here we go. Might pay to give them a call.
