We are not allowed to make claims that DE is a pest control product under the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act 1994 ('Agvet Code') as DE is not a registered chemical product. If you are looking at information about how people around the world have used DE, please Google it or consult organic gardening books, websites or forums. I think we are allowed to say from our experience insects don't seem to like it.
Care should be taken when using DE. Wear a dust mask, eye protection and gloves. While it is non toxic the tiny particles can be drying to skin and hands, and harmful if inhaled. Always wash hands after use.

Seeing green shoots a few days after planting. Very happy so far.
Hydrofish is a great product, as it gives excellent results within a short space of time for a modest outlay. I highly recommend it. The whole garden really thrives on it, and the colours of the flowers are vibrant.
Happy with an option for a gift card as a present. Received the voucher immediately via email. So all good
It’s by far the best way to dispose of what our furry friend doesn’t need anymore.. clean- efficient- easy to install and use.. actually looks great in the garden as no-one knows what it is until I tell them . No plastic bags in the bin after our walks and nothing left around the yard as it’s collected daily. Brilliance at its best
Beautiful item that is really practical - it does what it says! I placed this in an enormous pot that struggles on hot days - this has made a notable difference
S. so sensible...water directed exactly where needed...spreads out in forward fan shape and water for narrow beds and no water wasted.
I have been using this soap for over a year now. Best ever. I am using the 30% Laurel Oil Lorbeer, i love the smell and how it takes care of my skin.
Having used a pitchfork to turnover my compost for years, I treated myself to the compost mate. I hoped it would be easier for me to use. I am short and struggle to turn over my tall compost bins. Well I am going out every day off to turn my compost bins over now, the compost mate has certainly become my mate. It has made the job fun and enjoyable. Also good to use next to my compost bins, to turn over the soil and pull up tree roots trying to get into my compost bins, from under the ground. Would definately recommend this to anyone who wants compost with ease and fun.
I'm a professional gardener and use my ho-mi for weeding. It is by far the best tool I've ever used for that purpose. I buy them now as gifts for gardening friends and they are always amazed at how great they are.
Fitted perfectly in my inherited old "can-o-worms" worm farm. My worm farm has been in operation for 2 weeks now and looking great. I picked up my worms from the local mens shed. I checked out my little blanket for the worms just yesterday. all the worms were right up the top near the blanket, happily munching on the scraps and a bit of newspaper. I watered the blanket with a little bit of water to moisten it up a bit before closing the lid again. I love the little handle that comes with it... makes it easy to check on my worms.
Super easy to use and effective at cleaning my kettle so its as good as new again! Love it!
Although a bit more thought,time and effort is involved, the bin turns kitchen scraps into garden compost beneficial for building up the soil.
Much better than kitchen food waste ending up in landfill.
I purchased a Compost Thermometer, temperature prob from Urban Revolutions in Victoria Park, the temperature prob helps me monitor the temperature in my compost bin which is a great help with time and the quality of the my end product from my compost bin.
Very easy to read with great results.
The steady, active and hot gauge is great as this slows me to change my compost mixture to increase or decrease the heat range, great product.
The 6mm wire grill does an excellent job at reducing balls of compost from my tumbler into smaller soft pellets that can easily be incorporated into soil. And the 40cm diameter makes for comfortable working— not too large. Welded well all round. Very glad I paid the cross-continent shipping for this trusty accomplice!
Got a heap last season. Planted it out earlier this year, impressive results, showing big stalks and healthy leaves despite the cold and rainy winter.
It's a great variety for taste and strength. I find myself having to crush and cult up less cloves to make a meal which is always a win in the kitchen.
Can't wait to harvest this year.
