Mt Sylvia Diatomite back in business

Post by ness »

Today I learned that the Mt Sylvia Diatomite mine is back in business! They said about 7-10 weeks till stock is readily available!
Anyone know of any businesses that are going to be re-stocking their shelves with this product?
Time to put the pressure on, bonsai folk !

I sent them an email today because their website looked like they were running.
They temporarily closed recently which meant suppliers stopped stocking Mt Sylvia Diatomite.
I've never tried Maidenwell Diatomite, but the Mt Sylvia is a pretty good quality.
I'd been using it for years... until the mine closed.
But now it's back open! Hooray!
