Pile being the operative word that'll keep you going for a season or two Anyone got a tip-truck?
"dam ... we shouldn't have sold the bobcat and truck first huh?"

good luck Bretts

There are several auctions but all are fines or dust. I reckon the fines would be ok.
I am considering bidding on one like this

But 24 bulker bagds is alot to get picked up and then stored

yep, wouldn't quite fit in the back of the Laser

it's only a bargain if you can use it or sell it for more ... so after transportation, storage, sorting/rebagging, postage etc. even a group buy could get kinda messy but sounds like there's plenty who buy in

Hey sorry I didnt post link of page but seems you all found it pretty well. Bulker bags would be great buy, but it all depends whether it is all fired and ready for use.

Hi owieo86, it's my understanding that Diatomite is not actually fired, so should be ready for use (might need to be dried out though to make it lighter, given recent wet weather events?)
