Hi lots of people have recommended diatom but I am having a problem getting it. I also cant use the internet to buy stuff.

Is there any one local to me who can suggest somewhere.

sorry I buy mine from the internet, however I know grannie annie buys something similar from bowden and knight (can't remember what it's called) and you can ring them up for that.

If you ring Bowden adn Knight (That's where I got that 'special magic stuff'  Rachel!), they are very helpful and full of advice.

It's called hemexsan joy!  And is the same crushed up little fossil bodies as Diatom.

Yes, Rachel, Bowden and Knights don't sell on the internet yet, I usually order from them by email or phone, but if you can get down to me anytime, I'll sort you out a little bag.  I've still got quite a lot of hemexsan!

Not sure where in Lincolnshire you are but I use these guys.  They charge £4.99 for 1KG of diatom and if you can spend over £10 (they sell food etc as well) they usually delivery for free.

Try to give us a ring first Rachel to make sure I'm around.  Have you still got my number?  We are out Saturday, but if I know that is when you are coming down, I can leave a bag outside the front door for you!
