I have to say that up in cairns they were very helpful. I put a call in, the guys said they didn't have in Stock and he didn't know too much but within an hour I had an email with the Mt sylvia mine link. Spoke to them and they said it was the same stuff.
Called blackwoods again and ordered and payed over the phone. They had it up from rocky in about 3 days (excl weekend).
That was only a col months ago but so far so good...
thanks again for the info Steve :hooray:

Is that the kleensorb green?

Yep, the Kleensorb green.

Is it different?

They didn't have it on file so had to give them a reference number from their own website (which I thought was bizarre).

Thanks to bonsaibeginer and Steve for the tip to have a crack at Blackwoods again

Cheers

Hi Rob, what exactly did you order to get that. Is this the one? https://www.blackwoods.com.au/part/0514 ... green-20kg

A bit confused between how it says 20kg but you got 35L

possibly 4/7 of a litre per kilo

I put kleensorb as about 1/3 of my mix -with 1/3 organic and 1/3 3-7mm gravel-is it beneficial at this rate
