Excellent product and advice
4 April 2024So good to get excellent product together with old fashioned service. I had a very informative and friendly conversation about the many ways I could use DE with my chickens, garden etc. I learnt a lot; thank you. My order arrived very promptly and I found, for me at least, it works out much cheaper to buy larger bag and have it couriered rather than smaller bags more often with Australia Post.
