diatomite
Hi everyone!Does anyone know where I might get hold of some Diatomite in Nth.Queensland? The Cairns and Tablelands districts don't have anyone that caters to Bonsai,all we have is the big B******S.Appreciate any feedback,Cheers Mick.

Re: diatomite
I have purchased Mt Slyvia Diatomite from Enviromart in Aulmuller Street (cnr Scott St). I told the owner at the end of last year that I wanted him to get some more and different sizes. I am planning to drop soon so I will let you know.

Re: diatomite
Hi,
If we cannot get a regular supplier for the north we could always do a group order. PM me if interested as I would be interested in obtaining a more regular supply of Maidenwell Diatomite as well as several other supplies not likely to be regularly stocked in the north. We already do group orders locally for quality bark and other supplies and it works out quite well.
regards
Ash

Re: diatomite
Pet sops often carry diatomoite in stock. It's also good for kitty litter. I get mine from the pet store cause the $1 extra per bag isn't worth the 30km drive
