I'm looking into getting a pallet of Zeolite to Melbourne because I'm looking for the 4-6mm particle size. I also have the option of getting the 2-4mm particle size.
Pickup would be Yarra Valley or delivery may be able to be arranged. Just clarifying price once I get the freight quote.
Bag size is 25kg.
If you're interested in any bags feel free to PM me. Price will depend on interest

In case anyone is thinking, "ill just get the woolies zeolite cat litter", heres some info to help your decision:
The bag says 15 L and my bag weighed 8.9 kg. It cost me $7.05, making it $0.79/kg or alternatively 1.26kg/dollar.
I havent washed/rinsed/sifted fines or dust yet, but there did appear to be a few when I had a quite sift of just 1 scoop.

The particle size looks to range from 2mm up to 11-12mm.
To compare, Enfield Pet & Garden has 25kg bags for $21.50 (2-4.4mm), making it $0.86/kg, and that's before adding postage (which for me in Melbourne isnt insignificant). To compare, I can do free click and collect cat litter alongside my regular woolies order every week if needed.
Hope that information helps some people! If my trees were a little more advanced Id probably jump on board!

with the essentials cat litter from woolies I screen and rinse and use the 2mm in my soil mix and the larger as a bottom drainage layer and as a surface protector for when I water too fast. Doesn't look very natural but is neat and reduces the washouts on the benches.
