I am a mourner Pup. :crybye:

Lucky I found a couple of big, large bottles I'd forgotten about, the other day while cleaning a shed. :tu:

Try GoGo Juice. It's the exact same except that it actually works.

It was mean't to be oxymoronic/ironic. I have never used superthrive, but all the literature i have read suggests it doesn't work. I trust all that literature more than whatever small scale trials i could conduct myseld. All the litterature i find on GoGo juice, and my individual (yet small) trials are enough to SATISFY ME. I do NOT expect anybody to assume that it's good because someby is satisfied with it. By that theory, so is every single religion still practiced. Now i'm getting controversial!

THIS is 100% true.... I get match green tea from japan (It IS legal to import here) and sometimes customs have opened the packages sometimes they don't....

I have read a heap of literature which suggested the world was flat, but I fly around the world.

I have read a heap of literature that suggested Superthrive didn't work, but my use of the product in a production Nursery told me it did work and worked well.

Neither of the above statements have anything to do with the subject of this thread. Someone, somewhere (probably not a gardener) has decided the importation of a product is to be been banned into Australia. It happens all the time. Those who would like to continue using the products which get banned in this country should contact their local MP and ask for that product to be allowed back into the country. Those that do not want to have the product re-instated should just say nothing.

My rant hath ended. :)

Too big of the risk. I did this last year and bought a few ounces. They all got destroyed by custom. Waste of money! WHAT WE SHOULD DO IS CONVINCE THE MANUFACTURER TO LIST THE INGREDIENTS. This is why they got banned. And of course they ST manufacturer wouldn't disclose their secret --- which is 40% bat feces extract and 60% water :)
Here you go and make it here in Australia
Always we hope someone else has the answer.

i to bought some but mine arrived safe and sound but i bought a 4 ounce bottle just ti try it, i suspect if you try for the larger bottles they will definitely get destroyed it tends to be small things that slip through the cracks
