Diatomite in Victoria.....

Post by Josh7 »

Does anyone know of any Diatamite stockists in Victoria? I've been to a few places and no one has heard of it.

They have some at Gardenworld in Springvale Rd, Braeside. 40 litre bag for $30. (I've read of others buying it at $10 cheaper from other places around australia.)
It's maidenwell brand, and is labelled "All purpose hi-silica growing medium". The bags they had looked pretty old and dusty, so maybe it's only the occasional bonsai enthusiast who buys it. It's in the orchid section of collector's corner
