To my friends in the north here, (I know there's a number of you) can anybody suggest a retailer who can sell me scoria on the cheap, with delivery?
Cost of scoria is all that's holding up my system progression right now.

Best I have found today is $54 per metre delivered (5 metres) (14mm scoria)
Anybody know if that's a good price?

Thanks heaps Milne.
It's always comforting to know you're not getting ripped off. Everybody has their own secret 'cheap suppliers' for various different things.

yes... a 1 metre bucket holds more than a metre in my experience. I just wonder whether when I order 5 metres, will I get a proportional amount extra? or the same amount?
eg if a big bucket is 1.15 metres. but when I order 5 will I get 5.75 or 5.15?
not that it matters really, but there's a growbed in the difference, or $35 approx.
