Excuse me madam, would you like to step into my office while we examine and ask you a few questions about your 'white powder'. What are you intending to use this powder for? Chooks. Chooks?, yes Chooks....hmmmm. Any other use? Yes, I drink it.....ummm, you drink it? Yes, great health tonic. OK madam we have done an analysis on the powder and it contains DNA of dinosaurs, and you use this as a health tonic.....how old did you say you were?

I ended up buying from Grow Natural at the price they quoted me in their email. Mind you still waiting for it to get here. Maybe some time in the new year, a new car from overseas seems to get here quicker.

Hi Guys,
I'm Geraldine from Grow Natural - Diatomaceous Earth. I noticed some comments from our customers. We are new to this so still working out how to get it to run smoothly, hopfully we find a way to get orders out faster. And we are searching for cheaper postage to WA too but we haven't had any joy so far, Aust Post is the cheapest, we have found that 20kg orders to WA cost from $50 - $70 to post depending on the postcode.
I'll let you all know if we get a stockist in WA.
Cheers Geraldine

Anne, just visit the website that belle quoted: gardenersdirect.com.au they only got the internet site as store front, and the products get delivered. The friend of mine had a big load of compost delivered to Rolleystone, so your area should be covered, too.

Organic girl I do sprinkle it around my cage for ticks ,lice etc :DI put it in their dust bath areas and now mix it in their food for worming .Great stuff ;D I have a contact at the moment looking into bringing in Food grade in bulk at very reasonable costs . ;D..I was hanging out for that but may have to get a smaller amount in now to get me by. Sorry pianochook I misread your earlier post must be the confusion of the latest goings on in the chook shed .
