HI, just wondering if anyone has found any 2-7mm Diatomite available in Adelaide?
So far I've only found 7-15mm but would rather the smaller grade.
I can get it from Melbourne, but unless I buy a pallet's worth the freight isn't worth it ($25 for a bag plus $30 freight!!)
If enough people are interested, a bulk buy could be worth while.
let me know what you think?
Any help would be appreciated.



Also on a side note, has anyone used it in Adelaide? if so, did you use it 100% or in a mix? I'd be interested to hear your comments on this too.

The Adelaide bonsai society sell it at the club meeting. 1st tues every mth..32 rosa street goodwood.

Try a hydroponic shop, not sure where you are in Adel. but the one on Martins Road Parafied Gdns sells it, not sure what grade though.

Thanks Goff, I've recently joined up with the SA bonsai society, but I haven't seen it available there. Any suggestions on who to talk to there?

Andrew ward would be the man to see..

Great address for a bonsai club meeting!!

remember though, it's not the size of the trunk that counts....

Thanks, I just got a reply from my email to the club, Howard said they have a shipment coming of maidenwell Diatomite and also Zeolite. They will announce at meeting as soon as its available. Looking forward to trying it out
