Supplies Melbourne

Post by Meagi »

Hi does anyone know where I can get the following in melbourne
Diatomite
Pumice
Zeolite
I've ordered mine from Damian Bee in the past but he is away this week.
I just need a bit before he comes back for repotting .

Also how long does spanghum moss last after it is open I have some that was resealed for about 6 months now
Cheers thanks in advance for your help

Damian has everything you require with regards to potting mediums. He's very friendly and helpful.

Oh, his prices are very reasonable too.

Meagi,
Spagnum moss should last indefinitely. Even if it dries out it soaks up water very easily when you need it again.
If stored wet it will eventually rot - that's what peat is - but it should be ok for a few years.

I know this is a really old post and there is probably a new one somewhere here., but I can’t find it. The Ology web site doesn’t connect.
Can anyone give me Damien’s address for this landscape nursery? Tried calling a week ago just got his voicemail.
Thanks.
Cheers

Kirky, He uses his 'Dirtbags' handle on Facebook

Go to FB search for Dirtbags and it is the one with the cartoon figures as the profile pic. Then send him a message on FB Messenger.

Cheers
