Zeolite is about $15-$18 for a 40 litre bag, so a little more expensive than diatomite but more accessable if live in sydney.
Hi,

Down here in Victoria, Maidenwell (diatomite) goes for $25.00/40 litre bag.

So you are still a bit more lucky than us :)

I have been using it for years, mixed with red scoria and pine barks. My trees are just as healthy as trees in nurseries around. So I am happy with the concoction.

Hi Ken and Mojo,

Personally I do find the shortened version of Japan/Japanese a bit off putting too.

Hi Mojo,

I cannot think of a shortened version of Vietnamese that might be off putting to the Vietnamese :) Well except the G word that is no longer used in Australia :).

Cheers.
