According to Trevors Mum, $38.00 per bag for the Akadama or $35.00 for 3 bags. But she would have to double check with Trevor. He was serving another person and I didn't have time to double check. As for the Kanuma I didn't ask. Suggest if anyone is interested to give Trevor a call 03 95510725. The Kanuma he had was the large and medium sized Kanuma and the Akadama is the hard stuff.

Well 40 bucks for 40kg would be ok but if it's for 20, it's too rich for me!

It looked like a quite coarse grade to me when I was in there the other day - I'm not sure how it go would go for anything but medium to large trees?
