. I dont know exactly where in Qld they are, but you Quenslanders can work that out. Company is ragsandspills.com.au Good luck
Regards Panda

Hi everyone i got some Diatomite from red dragon bonsai nursery in Currumbin, re-potted one of my black pines using about %30 Diatomite to premium potting mix. i will re pot the other two as soon as possible. at the end of the day the Diatomite seems like the best stuff i have come across. thanks Simon.
