Demand for Kanuma in NSW

Post by kcpoole »

Hi all
I am investigating if there is sufficient demand to warrant importing a pallet of Kanuma to NSW.
I use Kanuma for all my Azaleas and have excellent results with it and Scott in Canberra does not stock it any longer :-(

if there are any members in NSW that use it too and cannot get it, want to let me know and if enough response I can get a pallet across here for us?

Send me a PM or reply to this thread if you are interested and I will investigate the feasability of it
Any clubs or school interestedin larger numbers

ps. Probably looking at $25 - $30 per bag depending in shipping costs from WA. and each bag is about 5Kg (20l or so), so if you are interested in getting shipped onwards to other destinations you can work out the costs to do so

Hi Ken,

Akadama as well?

I use about 5% in my mix and am running out.

Hi all
Yes we can do akadama in the same order, so if you are interested in that then let me know.

Kanuma is only for azaleas ( at least for me)

@evan, We can get mixed sizes in a pallet so we can get a variety if we want

Hi Ken,

I'd love a couple bags of each. I don't grow Azaleas but have some crazy ideas for the kanuma.

Thanks for investigating this Ken! I appreciate the effort.

Looking all good to go now as I have sorted out a delivery address at this end that works for me and was hoping to get an order off before Chrissy, but getting a new job and athletics season kicking into hi gear trashed that prospect:-(

I will be putting the order in over the break and delivery sometime in the new year :fc:

Cool as mate, be in my hands in time for an Autumn repot ;)

Now I just have to work out how much of the stuff I'm likely to need.
