Hi,
I'm looking at ordering a couple bags of this stuff: http://www.septone.com.au/detail.asp?pr ...
However the rep claims it's "a bit powdery, a bit granular". The description says it's a standard coarse grade of diatomite but I don't want to get it sent to WA only to find half the bag is powder.
Has anyone got any experience with this product as a potting medium?
Alternatively what about Kleensorb?
Cheers,
Matti

Kleensorb is what we all use here. there was a post the other day about getting it in Adelaide from Blackwoods.

I was in a bearing shop last week getting a V belt when I noticed about 6 bags of Kleensorb sitting against one wall. It should be available in pet stores as well (sold as kitty litter)

Yeah I was the guy that suggested Blackwoods, tried my local branch and they could only look up Septone brand. Maybe i'll ask them if they can order Kleensorb.
