Were can i get Maidenwell Diatomite in Canberra

Post by irish »

Hi.

I tell ya enough is enough :twisted:

Fair dimkum.... :shake:... :tounge:

Ok i live in Junee NSW 40ks from Wagga Wagga population 40 thousand. There is no one who stocks Maidenwell Diatomite, i kid you not. Beleave me, i have looked, phoned and spoken to people untill i was blue in the face. Have been to Bunnings, Nursery's, Co-ops, pet suppliers, pubs, clubs, Brothels. None can help me. The Brothel could, they said i was the type of bloke who could make a "Maidenwell" :lol:

Back on track, were in Canberra, only a 200k drive from Junee can i buy Maindenwell Diatomite from.

Regards.
Irish. :aussie:

Try emailing Maidenwell direct and ask if they have and stockists there
Also try Mt Sylvia as well

I have used both mines produce and would happilly purchase either if my preferred ( Mt Sylvia), was not available

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Canberra Bonsai Society is in the process of ordering diatomite for delivery to members at our July meeting. Irish, you are welcome to join our club to take advantage of this and other offers that provide the benefits of bulk purchases to our members, for example zeolite and potting mix.
