diatomite, where to find it in the widebay region QLD

Post by Jamie »

hey guys,

i am after a supplier hopefully in hervey bay, or not to much further than that of diatomite as a growing medium for the trees, if anyone knows of any places that might possibly sell it here that would be great, i havent been able to find it through google searches, all i get is the mining side of things.

cheers in advance.

Don't know how far away from you that is...his website is http://www.productivegardens.com.au
Its an online store, hope this helps :)

Why is it that some people can't just give there oppinion.....if someone does not agree is there really a need to jump on your shetland pony and pretend its a high horse???

the site isnt to bad but shipping will cost more than the product, i will try to find it locally first, might be able to get away with it easier.

thanks pal :D

That's what I was going to suggest Jamie.
Give the supplier a call in the morning and ask who is the closest stockist to you!

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.
